----- Original Message ----- From: Frank Murray To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 11:30 AM Subject: Markham ex Rathkaele Co. Limerick to Australia 1822 I understand you are researching the Markham family ex Co Clare. I believe the Markhams who made their way into Limerick, including beyond Limerick City came from Clare originally. So my own search for 'my' Markham's forbears would presumably take me to Clare.There weren't that many who came to west Co. Limerick - it seems there was only one Markham family in and around Rathkaele. Edmund Markham, born 1802 (date and place unknown - probably Co Limerick - Rathkaele or Croagh) 1802. Certainly had a sister Ann and possibly had (at least) two brothers Timothy and Patrick who lived there at the time. (These two were arrested under the Insurrection Act in 1824 and acquitted.) Parents were James Markham and Ellen(Surname?). Dates/ places of birth unknown. Both were said to be deceased in Ann's emigration papers to Australia in 1845. (Yet there was an Ellen Markham living in Rathkaele in the 1851 Griffiths Valuations). Ed was sent off to the Colony of New South Wales after being convicted under the Irish Insurrection Act 1822. He was the first person arrested after the promulgation of the Act. The crime was breaking the curfew (most such 'convicts' were sentenced for this,) and having two pistols hidden in his house. 43 of the 189 convicts on the ship Mangles were transported for Insurrection Act offences. Sent for "seven years"as were almost all Insurrection Act transportees. Now 500 descendents in Australia, including, ironically, the Chief Justice of an Australian State!! Incidentally, the Limerick Chronicle report (2.3.1822) of the trial named a John Markham of the 3rd Light Dragoons as one of the soldiers and police who gave evidence against the group at the trial. I have always assumed that he was not of the Rathkaele family and possibly from Clare. I would be interested to hear if you have any detail of him and/or of the 3rd Light dragoons. On the other hand a John Markham was a godparent to Catherine Markham (daughter of Timothy Markham /Helen White m. Rathkaele 2.1.1836) baptised in Rathkaele on 19.6.1839. All very complex. But I would very much like to exchange information in my search for when and why Markhams moved into Limerick, and their specific forbears in Clare,as part of the larger story.

I am researching the SHEERIN family. Alexander John born 1856 emigrated to Australia when he was about 18 on the Roxburgshire- which arrived Brisbane on the 30th June 1876( may have been married in Ireland or in Australia)then remarried in 1886 to a 15 year old girl Sarah Hall, he was a bricklayer by trade and they had children Martha, 1895, William Edward Arthur, 1897. both children born Tasmania.also child known Doris who married ? Lauricella. Next was Mary Ann who arrived on the Zamora but died three weeks later in Brisbane Hospita, with her arrived James aged 22, both arrived on the 24th May 1881 My GGrandfather arrived? married Sarah Godson in Maitland NSW. Any information contact Suzy [email protected]

Hi All James KERLIN was the son of another James who is buried in the Old Magheradrool Cemetery. The monument was "erected by his son James" in 1859. They were residents of Ballynahinch and Ballycreen in Co DOWN. Great Grand-father James appears to have died between 1874 and 1883 - the only lead I can find is that the youngest child was born 29 October 1874 and his wife and children left Ireland 19 July 1883 on "Jerusaleum" and arrived in Brisbane 31 October 1883. (Maybe I could stretch my luck and say 1875?? and1883). Mary Jane BELL died from a disease contracted aboard ship on 9 January 1884. Her death certificate states her parents were David BELL and Isabella WOODS. Her older daughters Dinah 24 and Mary Jane 22 would probably have given this information, or maybe someone from the HARRISON family, so in this case we could hope these names are correct. I can't find them. The other children who arrived with the widow Mary, were James 21, William John and Moses - twins - 19, Sarah 16 (this one was born in Annahilt and recorded as CARLIN), and Samuel 9. If you have read the HARRISON/WILLIS story you will know that William John, Moses and Sarah married into the HARRISON family. William John was David's Grandfather. We only know that the two families were very close. The KERLINs appear to have lived in Beaudesert QLD, but we have 'lost' them between 1884 and the 1890s. Funny thing, when we get to Brisbane (very rarely) the Library keeps kicking us out at closing time and we never get to Electoral Rolls or anything else around those dates. Does anyone out there know about these folk? I have lots and lots of bones to share, but very little flesh!!!!!

Hello All In 1859, George HARRISON and Susan Jane WILLIS left Ireland aboard "Gypsy Bride" and arrived off Melbourne 30 April 1860. Shipping records show they landed on 1 May 1860. With them was their newborn son Samuel, born 3 March, at Sea. George hailed from Magheradogherty/Magherydogherty depending on your reading matter, and Susan was 'next door' at Drumnamether. One of George's brothers later purchased Marlacoo Beg, which is north and west of these two properties, in Co ARMAGH. There is a connection with Market Hill which I would be happy to discuss with anyone who may be more aware of locations in NIR. They moved off to Ballarat where William Henry was born 3 September 1961. Apparently, urged by George's sister Mary and her husband Samuel HEATHWOOD, they then came to Brisbane. Another sister Anne and her husband Joseph COLVIN arrived here at Moreton Bay aboard "Merkara" on 18 November 1884. Robert (m Sarah Kerlin), George, John, Susan Jane (m Moses Kerlin), Alexander, Magdalene (m William John Kerlin - David's Grandmother), Annie Margaret, Hilda Caroline, Emma Adeline and Clara Beatrice made up the rest of the family and were either born in Brisbane or at the property "Broomfield" at Cedar Grove near Beaudesert. This house is still standing. There is a good deal of information to share here and I would be delighted to receive anything from anyone else, regarding any of the families. Thanks for reading (maybe for the second+ time??)

Hi all, Somewhat suprised to read that the Griffith's Valuation of Ireland was a census substitute for the years BEFORE the 'Great Famine'. The famine commenced in September 1845 with the failure of the crop due to potato blight. By early 1846 it had spread to most of Ireland and 75% of the country's potato crop was wiped out. The crop of 1847 though free from blight was small. In 1848 the blight returned and that year was the worst. It was not to the end of 1849 that the famine came to and end. Griffiths Valuation as we know it and is a listing of property owners at a particular date between 1848 and 1864 depending on the part of the country you are dealing with. It lists only the property owner, a census lists all of the occupiers. To say it provides information before the famine and is a census substitute is to draw a long bow indeed. Terry

Hello Listers, For those folk who can't come to the fair, due to distance and previous commitments, is it possible for Jennifer to allow her lectures to be published on the list. (or even short versions) Jennifer has done some research for me on my Irish convict, Thomas Sweeney "Regalia" 1826 when he was transported to Morton Bay.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Y-IRL] A surnames Leitrim Date: Sun, 3 Mar 2002 12:14:43 -0000 From: "Jane Lyons" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> The following is the list of names taken from the index for Leitrim listing surnames that were recorded in Leitrim in both the Griffiths and Tithes. This volume is more commonly known as the Householders Index. These surname index books are in two arts. The first being a general index for the whole county listing the number of times a surname is found in the Griffiths for a Barony and then also indicating whether or not it was recorded in the Tithes Applotment books for that barony. Generally speaking the Tithe Applotment books listings are for about 20- 30 years before Griffiths was caarried out in the county (Griffiths began in Cork so the years are closer for southern counties) These books list surnames as occuring in any place when the Tithes were carried out regardless of whether or not they occurred during the Griffiths. >From these surname books we can find names being spelled differently from one tax list to the next or having disappeared from any area altogether between the two. This is from the first part of the index - the part which lists names by Baronies. The second part of the index breaks the listing down to parish level. I've made no note of those names that only occurred in the Tithes, and I have not tried to bring those surnames that are more than likely the same but spelled differently together on rows, for e.g Allegam as listed here could be Allingham. Overall, it's interesting to compare the spellings with those found on the Griffiths cd...........and something else I've noticed with other counties that I have gone to parish level in, is that names can be missing from this part of the index and found in the Parish parts.
