I am seeking information or contact with other descendants to share information on Henry Francis Hans HARRISON (Born Co. Kildare 1818, died in NSW in July 1863) and his wife, Marrion Grace WOOD (born 1826? in Co. Louth, died 1888 in Manly, Sydney) - they married in Dublin in approx. 1847. Henry was the son of the Rev. John Issac Harrison, of the Parish of Naas, Co. Kildare and his wife Christian NELAN. Marrion's parents were Robert WOOD, a farmer near Dundalk, and his wife Grace FERGUSON. They appear to have come to Australia after 1849, possibly arriving on the "Dublin" in 1851, with a child. Children: 1. Henrietta Georgeina, born 1849 in Dundalk Co. Louth, who married William Joseph Garnet BURGESS in 1865 in Sydney. (Lost track of Henrietta - her husband remarried in 1875, but no evidence of her death) Later surviving children known to be born in NSW were - 2. Francis James, born 1855, died 1930 (married 1878, had 9 children?); 3. Robert J, born 1857, died 1909 (married 1882, had 7 children?); 4. Thomas Isaac, born 1859, died 1891? (no confirmed marriages or death) 5. Marrion Grace Elizabeth, born 1861, died 1944 - married Benjamin JONES in 1881 (12 children); 6. Rebecca Mary Jane, born 1861 (twin) (marriage to Charles SHERINGHAM in 1883 not confirmed 1 known child), and 7. Ann Alexandra (Annie) born 1863, died 1938, married Francis William HEATON, postmaster at Balgowlah in 1882 (5 children). I have no confirmed information on the individual's or family's arrival in Australia in the 1850s. Henry drowned in the wreck of the "Regent Bird" on a trip from Macleay River (Kempsey) to Sydney in July 1863 (just before Ann's birth). Marrion remarried as a widow in 1866 to John AIRD, a tailor. He died 1882, and Marrion lived with the Heatons in Manly/Balgowlah until her death in 1888. Any information or advice greatly appreciated. Any descendants? - I would love to hear from you. Regards Margaret Szalay (g.g. granddaughter - female line) - Sydney, Australia mszalay@bigpond.net.au

Hi Roslyn I'm not connected to your families but my mother was a friend of Marie Quirk (nee ?) from Finley. Her husband was killed in the 60's (I think)-crushed by a bull he was working with in cattle yards. I remember this quite well although I was youngish at the time. Mum (Joyce Beckwith) and Marie knew each other well but I can't recall how as Mum lived in Deniliquin. I can't recall the husbands name either unfortunately. Not much help but sometimes its interesting to get a few snippets .

Hi all Patricia, I think I answered you direct, but I have no Michael HAYES listed in my database for that era. The only McINERNEY I have married Michael QUINN pre 1838 in Clare, Ireland. Sorry. Mary, sorry too as I do not have your Michael either.

I am aware that many of our ancestors originally arrived and chased the lure of gold in "them there hills". They stayed a short time in the goldfields and then moved on to settle in other parts of the state, hence my cross posting to a number of mailing lists. For those who receive this message more than once I apologize in advance but hope you will bear with me in the interests of promoting entries for a new pioneer register. (List owners please be gentle!).... This email is to advise all out there that a long awaited Hill End and Tambaroora District Pioneer Register (listing settlers and families in the district up to 1920) is in the process of being compiled. For many years the descendants of the early families have met in the Botanical Gardens in Sydney for an annual reunion. At the 2003 Gathering it was suggested that we should try and record for posterity, the family details of the early settlers and gold mining families who once lived in the Hill End and Tambaroora District. They were special people who managed to live and work under terrible conditions at times, far from large towns, shops or any medical help in those early days. Later, as the goldrush expanded, more people arrived, businessmen soon opened up shops and hotels and the village grew into the town we see in the old Holtermann photographs. Please contact me for a copy of the registration form which I will return to you as a Word attachment. You may then fill it out and return it electronically to either of the addresses on the form or you may wish to print it out and return it via snail mail to the addresses which are also on the form. Closing date is 30th November 2003. Even if you have very little information about your ancestors, at least they will be recorded and their details made available for those that come after you. If you have more than two ancestors to record (and many of the families intermarried) please fill out a separate form for each family. Feel free to spread the word about the Register and pass on our contact details to other descendants. There is no charge to register your ancestors in this publication. We will, however,let you know when the book has been published as you or your family may wish to buy a copy. Don't forget to include your contact details. Lorraine Purcell, on behalf of the Hill End & Tambaroora Gathering.

Hi Listers, Hoping someone may know-am trying to find any information on a family named Smith who took in a male child after the rest of family drowned in an accident-probably in a swollen creek in the Carcoar area. The child's christian name was Thomas and both families were probably Irish. Thomas grew up as a Smith and married Elizabeth Cassidy.Who were the drowned family and who are the Smiths? This was probably in the 1850's. Also does anyone have any information about a Cassidy starting a printing press in Carcoar around this time or even earlier? Thanks Lynne

Hi Kevin, Am grasping at straws but-I am after an Anne Merriman of County Kildare-father Christopher Merriman and mother Mary Hanly. She was born about 1833 and died in 1879 in Orange. Married Daniel Connors of County Limerick. They were married her in 1856. Probably no relation but have had no luck with the Merriman so thought I would try.

An index to Lease and Land Holders, 1838 and 1839 ,for the Divisions of Nenagh, Clonmel and Cashel. in Co Tipperary http://www.standard.net.au/~jwilliams/irevote.htm I am still working on Clonmel for 1839, and the 1838 indexes, so please bear with me. In Tipperary it was necessary for men to meet certain qualifications to secure their right to vote (which usually included leasing or owning land to a certain value). As part of the proceedure of ensuring their right to vote,if they wished to take part in the election of a member (or members) for Parliament it was necessary for them to attend nominated Quarter Session's sittings and register their intent to vote. A Register was then compiled by the Clerk of Courts of all those men intending to vote. These Registers were then sometimes copied into local newspapers. Jenny Fawcett has compiled indexes to those men intending to vote in 1838 and 1839,as published in a Tipperary newspaper, which has created a list of land and leaseholders for the Divisions of Nenagh, Cashel and Clonmel, and the Boroughs of Cashel and Clonmel. These indexes, in turn, give an indication of landowners and leaseholders in a particular region. They cannot be confidently used as a true indication of all land/lease holders in the district, as some men may have chosen not to exercise their right to vote (for a variety of reasons), and many would have had their applications challenged and/or rejected, if they did not meet the necessary qualifications (including the value of their leasehold).Alternatively if a man owned land in several districts,he might (?Improperly)register to vote in each of those regions and thus show up on several rolls:) e.g. John Ryan who lived at Boulick, might own lands in Boulick and lease lands at Ballina, so he might register at both towns of Nenagh and Thurles with intent to vote,and therefore he will show up twice in voting rolls. A man did not have to live in the region he intended to vote in, he simply had to own or lease land to a certain value.(eg.Thomas Power who lives in Springfield, Co Waterford, owns lands in the Nenagh division of Co Tipperary. At the elections he has the right to vote, as he is a land owner. ) Also, in 1839 many men had to re-register for the right to vote, so these indexes might show both registrations.Also,these indexes are made up of several published lists, and sometime reflect the former registration of an applicant. The usual format for the information given in relation to the voters was:(eg) Surname: Addis Firstname: Thomas Occupation: Farmer Place: Cramps Castle Lands Townland of Cramps Castle Baroney: Middlethird. Qualification: As a Freeholder (£10) best wishes Jenny Fawcett

Hi All Trying this family from a different angle - my last ditch stand!! Samuel HARRISON born abt 1806 in the Mullaghbrack area married abt 1831 Annie CARLYLE/variants born abt 1810 had five children of whom we are aware: George b Sept 1831 married Susan Jane WILLIS b 12 Dec 1837 Drumnamether (2 of David's paternal Great Grandparents) Mary b 1834 married Samuel HEATHWOOD (also to Queensland, Australia) Elizabeth b 1836 who came to Qld to help George when Susan died. She returned to Ireland after George's death in 1905. We believe she remained a spinster. Robert 1840 married Mary WILLIS and they remained in Market Hill Co Armagh Ann b 1846 married Joseph COLVIN and they too helped populate south east Queensland. The three families who came and settled in south east Queensland, around the Beaudesert area, had 27 children of whom I'm aware. The family HARRISON features in the GV in Mullaghbrack. I don't have information on the HEATHWOODs nor COLVINs other than they were from Armagh. Can anyone help me with this lot please? Cheers Bev
