Finding what happened to William Donnelly b. 1841 Sydney Australia

[sparrett]

Hi Janjim,
Your other thread
 https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=881756.0

is giving some information from you which differs from this opening post.

It says that Simon DONELLY married Winifred at Hog Island .

Their son Timothy m. Eliza SCALES Hog Island.

Their children were Mary and Joseph.
 
Timothy, Eliza and 2 children came to NSW in 1840. More children were born here.

I wonder if there is a confusion of names in your information

I see no mention of the forename "Simon" in any of the records - the couple coming to Australia appear to be Timothy and Eliza, although his name in the handwritten immigration record could be mistaken as Simon.
They are shown in the
New South Wales, Australia, Assisted Immigrant Passenger Lists,
July, 1840
per ship Premier
All from County Clare
Timothy Donnelly, 30, farm labourer, protestant, cannot read or write, from County Clare
Eliza Donnelly, 26, housekeeper, protestant, reads

Oh my goodness, how sad, thank you all for this information.  Also I do apologise for not answering sooner, for some reason or other these messages before did not pop up on my email messages. Very strange.   I will look further into this now.   Jan

Hi Judith,
My apologies, yes a mistake in my opening post, that should have been Timothy Donnelly, not Simon.   Timothy Donnelly's father was Simon Donnelly.

Jan

What a sad and distressing story to be reported publicly in the newspaper, with the additional mention of the brother.
So it seems likely that the 1869 death is the correct one, although the father’s name doesn’t match that given by the OP.

wivenhoe,
So Sorry I made a mistake re the posting, should have been Timothy Donnelly, not Simon Donnelly.
Also we do have death certificate for Timothy Donnelly when he died in 1876.  Registered are two sons dead and two daughters as well.  They were William Donnelly, George Donnelly d. 1868, Lucy d. 1856 aged 4 years and Louisa Donnelly.   We cannot find a death for Louisa Donnelly.

Would really appreciate it if anyone could find more information on the deaths of Lucy and Louisa Donnelly.



Jan

The death certificates for Timothy DONNELLY and wife Eliza, when and where did they die and - how are their children accounted for  eg  alive, deceased?

Can you confirm please...the missing William is son of Timothy DONNELLY and Eliza SCALES?


The children born in Sydney have parents Timothy DONNELLY ......and Eliza SCALES, and Timothy is son of Simon?

I'm sure you have read the death notices which I linked for you in my reply#11, following relpy #10 clarifing names and dates.


The only living offspring mentioned is Joseph.  Does this agree with the information on the 1876 DC which you have?
