Dear List , I am compiling information on ALL Madden families that came to Australia , up to about 1880 , including births after they arrived . All states , all kinds - convicts , settlers , soldiers , whatever . I plan to make this information available on a webpage , but need your help to "tie together" family events that occurred after the arrival of your Maddens .(B/D/Ms whether recorded or not). I am also interested in women whose MAIDEN names were Madden , as these often relate to male Madden immigrants. If you can help , even in the smallest possible way , please Email : [email protected] If you know a researcher that does not have computer access , please tell them about it . My postal address is : Peter Madden 21 Bolton Close , Bolton Point . NSW 2283 In this day and age , it is becoming increasingly easy to compile , collate and compare BDM information . My aim is to help all who are interested to maybe find a connection that was previously unknown to them . Yours in genealogy , Peter Madden .

I've been researching McIntyres for "many moons" and would like to have contact with the McIntyre families who were living in Collingwood/Fitzroy/Carlton area in the late 1890's. My McIntyre family came from County Offaly (Kings County) settled at Braybrook (McIntyre Road) and up near Echuca/Mitiamo. Pauline McIntyre.

I am looking for descendants of Jerimiah McCarthy, born Parish of Kilmeen, County Cork, 13/4/1867, parents: - Charles McCarthy and Mary Anne Cahalane. Jerimiah arrived Australia, (possibly Sydney) c 1910. One of his children returned on a visit to Cork many years ago, the McCarthy family in Cork would like to renew contact.Hoping someone can help them. Pauline McIntyre.

Hello Anne, There are a volumn of 3 books entitled 'Log of Logs' which should be available in NZ public libraries or FHS these books contain lots of ships that came to Australia & NZ & gives their departure place/s, ports of call, arrival places etc. it might be worth a look for your ship if you have not already checked them. Good luck Colleen for Qld, Aust

My g/g/grandmother Honora DUGGAN was married to James STEPHENS in Auckland in 1863. On her "Application to Marry" her age is given as 18, length of residence in NZ 12 months; Name and Relation of Person giving consent in case of a Minor:- No person in the colony having authorisation to give consent. I have not been able to find her entry into New Zealand. Neither have I found James STEPHEN's entry into NZ. He must have been 'established' prior to their marriage on 19 Nov 1863 as they were married in his Dwelling House. Several years ago, a letter came into my possession suggesting that James STEPHENS had 'jumped ship' in Malta, found his way to Australia, 'met the Irish girl' along the way - possibly Australia. Some time ago, I found this entry on the British Passenger Shipping list 18952 - 1869 Index on http://www.vic.gov.au/prov/UnAssisted2.asp DUGGAN Honora; Age 25, year 1861, Month Jun, Ship "David G Fleming; Port B, Fiche 190, Page 3 Because of the age of the above, I more or less abandoned the idea that it could be the Honora DUGGAN I was looking for but I am now having second thoughts. She could have lied about her age above, and also when she married here in NZ. I' have checked the Aus Vital records but there is no Honora DUGGAN to fit the age and time. Could someone advise if there is any way to check the Honora DUGGAN on the "David G Fleming", i.e. where she came from and what happened to her after arrival in Australia? I do not have convenient access to the LDS Library and would really appreciate some help on this problem which I have been working at for the past 20 years.

I am working towards preparing a Biographical Dictionary of Buninyong (Victoria) 1837 to 1901, and am looking for interesting families to include. These need not necessarily be those who figure prominently in the history of Buninyong - even the miner or labourer who battled to raise a family will assist in giving a socio-economic profile of Buninyong. I am in urgent need of profiles on Buninyong women. There would have been some really interesting stories. Do you have one? I expect there to be between 200 - 400 entries. I need more than just a list of names. Anyone who feel they might be able to contribute should contact me for further information.
