Cornelius McInerney & Hannah Shea and family
« on: Saturday 01 October 22 04:12 BST (UK) »
Looking for the Marriage of Cornelius McInerney to Hannah Shea, and family in  county Clare. Catholic  circa 1825. there daughter Bridget was born circa 1833. Cornelius  and Hannah- believed to have immigrated to Australia, and lived in victoria Ballarat.  I have not found any information to confirm that. Bridget did immigrated to Australia and lived Ballarat,iIn 1859 and married in 1860 to John White.
Bridget and John moved to NZ circa 1865.
I believe that this could be Cornelius's death.

Name   Cornelius Mcinerney   
Age   72   
Death Date   1870   
Death Place   Corofin, Ireland   
Event Type   Death   
Registration Quarter and Year   1870   
Registration District   Corrofin   
Birth Year (Estimated)   1798   
Volume Number   4
 
Hannah moved to NZ circa, I am picking after the death of Cornlius as her death was in 1886 age 88.

If you don't have it, this looks like Bridgets baptism on 27 Dec 1833 at Tulla, diocese of Killaloe.  Mother Hana/Anna SHEA and father looks like 'Connor' or perhaps some contraction of Cornelius.

On the line above Bridget for 25 Dec is another McINERNY baptism with Honora SHEA as mother, not sure of the father, this page seems to be written by a few different people.

Who witnessed Bridget's marriage in 1860?

Why do you believe that the parents married around 1825? 

Have you the names of siblings of Bridget to estimate this?  if so could you pl give their names and birthdates please. 

Looks like Thomas may have been born around 1829. 

Your opening para reads to me as though Cornelius McInerney and Hannah/Anna Shea McInerney emigrated to Australia. Is this what you meant?  The death of Cornelius, from the previous thread gives his death place as being in Ireland. Do you think they emigrated and then went back to Ireland?

Thank you, I thought it was familiar.

Looking at other baptisms it is clear that there were two couples.  The second father is more clearly recorded as Jno (John) and perhaps the two mothers were also related.  They were all from the townland of Lissofin.

Children of John Mc. and Honor/Norry SHEA

Nov 1828 Margaret

Jul 1831  Conny

Dec 1833  Cath

May 1839  Patt

Children of Connor Mc. and Hana/Hanah/Anna SHEA

March 1829 Joan  (should this be John?)

Apr 1831  James

Dec 1833  Bridget

Feb 1837 Peter

Marriage was a guess.

I have no names of siblings to Bridget.  Although I am now guessing that Thomas is a brother, after finding the death in My Heritage. Ancestry has four persons in a tree, stating the same thing. I went on the parents for Thomas, as they had the same parents.  Ancestry states mother name as Annanah, and I am guessing this is the same.
The family states that the family emigrated to australia, but I believe that to be incorrect, as there is no record of them being there, and there is no Death of Cornelius in Ballarat, or Nz.
No they didn't emigrated to Aust and then move back.  Hannah lived with the Whites while in NZ, no records of a Cornelius in NZ
