Dear List I joined a few weeks ago and have been lurking before posting my interests from the Gunnedah area. I am trying to find out more about a Martha WOOLAGHAN who married a Phillip William CORCORAN supposedly on 29 Sep 1850 in Melbourne. They had some children in Victoria and then moved to Gunnedah, where several more were born. Phillip William CORCORAN died in Gunnedah in 1899 aged 74 and Martha CORCORAN died in Gunnedah on 7 Sept 1909 aged 79. She lived in Park Lane at the time of her death and was buried on 9 Sept 1909 in the Roman Catholic Cemetery. Can anyone please tell me if there are likely to be any local papers that might have carried obituaries for these people (who I dont think were very well off), or if there have been any cemetery inscriptions done, or if there might be other local records like rates assessments or school records still in existence? I would appreciate any suggestions. I am trying to trace Martha as she was one of the Irish famine orphans from a workhouse in Northern Ireland, and I am trying to find out if she was my great-great grandmother's sister.
