OP/SHYRL - do you have access to Ancestry?

Many, many Heffernans and Rourkes in the court records for Newmarket-on-Fergus.
John Heffernan of Moohane appears from 1842 to 1890s - may not all be same person of course.
Rioting in the streets, failure to pay their taxes, animals wandering on other people's land, etc. etc.

Did you mention they all had a free cruise to the Antipodes at Her Majesty's expense?  ;)

When and how many of the family did travel to Australia?

As for the Rourkes, a Daniel Rourke is listed in Griffith's Valuation, 1855, as jointly farming 39 acres in Mooghaun North. Given the son named Daniel, he is possible father or brother of Margaret Rourke.
He also appears in court for rioting in the streets of Newmarket...

Holy cow!!! That is an astonishing find Wexflyer. I can't believe the difficulty I have with these names!! so many of them and very confusing. Yes I am on Ancestry and yes Margaret O'Rourke b 1864 came out to Australia on board "Shenir" leaving Plymouth arriving in Oz 1880.I think she came out on her own aged 18years. And I think it was "free passage"!! I did see the other John Heffernan living in Mooghan (south and north) I don't think that is my person. Married to Sarah O'Neil.
So a colourful past I see and one that is difficult to investigate. I must admit I didn't look at the court records??? I will start looking at them on Ancestry as well. Thank you for the information on the Rourkes as well. Maybe that is an avenue to pursue. I may hit a dead end when I travel to the Heffernan / O'Rourke areas!! enjoy the superbowl.....

John Heffernan married Sara Neil in Newmaket-on-Fergus on 27/4/1843.

The relevant pages are deliberately covered/omitted from the NLI microfilm copy,  ???  but a transcript is on RootsIreland.
