Hi List I’m doing research on the above who married a Daniel WALTON in 1842 in Port Macquarie NSW. Catherine arrived on the Surry in 1840 and I’m trying to find out if she was in Millbank prison!! She apparently left some of her children back in England therefore I don’t know if her married name is LEARY or this is her maiden name. I have found the baptisms/births of some of her children born to Daniel WALTON but am missing the last one born in c 1852 JOHN ALEXANDER WALTON. John had a few children with Harriet Louisa THOMPSON in Bingara from 1893. I could not see from any records Catherines permission to marry Daniel WALTON!! If anyone has any further information on Catherine Leary-Walton would be very grateful to receive it. Kind regards Dianna

Morning Diana This is probably a bit of not very useful info in your search for Leary/Walton but sometimes weird things can help, so maybe tuck it away for future use I have a Catherine Leahy buried in the Catholic Cemetery at Balmain in 1868 she fell (?) over the cliff at Watsons Bay in Sydney and her death certificate contains very little information, there was an inquest Leary and Leahy are names that might have been misread or sometimes misspelt in 1868 Best Wishes Patrick Callaghan
