Posting to multiple lists. Headstone at Lancefield Victoria Australia. Don't know these people. Cheers Mick Dowling Melbourne Australia Erected By John Doolan in memory of his beloved mother Ellen Doolan Native of Armagh Ireland who died 4th December 1899 aged 72 years May her soul rest in peace. Amen Also John Doolan dearly loved husband of Mary Doolan who died 28th May 1905 Aged 35 years

Hello All, Am new to the list and appreciate the Dowling, Doolan information even though I am not sure how it fits in right now. Any information about the Doolans or Birminghams that I haven't provided below would be most appreciated. My Irish to Australia were Edward J. Birmingham/Birmingham who was married to Margaret Doolan/Dowling abt 1833 (I presume Ireland). I found a record that I believe is them imigrating to Australia with State Records of NSW, Colonial Secretary: Reports of Vessels Arrived 1832-December 1834, AO Reel 1264, Ref 10, NQ929.3944 8. The Journey of 1833 ship the "Lady East" arrival in Sydney, 15 November 1833. Edward BERMINGHAM 25 Scotland,Blacksmith and Margaret BERMINGHAM, wife 20 are shown as passengers in steerage. Through the NSW vital record site I as able to figure out who the children of Edward and Margaret were. My g-g-grandmother Elizabeth b. 1834, Catherine b. 1836, Ann 1840, Christina 1842, William 1845, and Margaret 1847. Other records indicate that Edward Birmingham left Australia 10/16/1849 on the ship "Duke of Roxborough" and arrived January 14, 1850 (after 99 days from Sydney) to San Francisco according to shipping entries 1849-51 of people whose names appeared in papers as leaving Australia for the California Goldfields. The ship was an English bark, Collard?(I am not sure what this means). There is a funeral notice of a Margaret Birmingham 6 Jan 1852 who died in Australia at her residece Castlereagh St. a few doors south of Bathurst St. (I am not sure what town in Australia this is) leaving a husband and 6 children. This information would fit Margaret Doolan Birmingham but I am not positive it was her. My theory is that she died (because I can't find any record of her being alive in Calif.) and some of her children went to be with their father in Calif. I know for sure that Elizabeth, Margaret and Ann did, but have not found any information on William and Christina. Edward J. Birmingham was a native of Ireland (according to census records for Calif.). I believe he died in 1886 at the age of 77 years old in Alameda County, California. Two of his daughters died in Calif.; Elizabeth(married to Arthur G. Miller) died in 1868, and daughter Margaret (married Benjamin F. Newberry) died in 1872. Daughter Anna(married George Tilley) and was still alive in Alameda County, Calif. in 1880. I have not been able to track her after that. Thank you for viewing this information.
