Sorry if this is a duplication, not sure if it went through okay the first time, so am forwarding it again. Kerry. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kerry <k4.history@gmail.com> Date: 27 June 2013 12:00 Subject: Catherine Kennedy etc. To: aus-pt-jackson-convicts@rootsweb.com Hello Elizabeth and Warren, After properly reading your email below, I've had a look at the information I have on my Kennedys and can't find anything that would link them to each other. Regards, Kerry. Elizabeth Walker lizrose@tpg.com.au via<http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en-GB&ctx=mail&answer=1311182> rootsweb.com 25 Jun (2 days ago) to aus-pt-jackson., Warren Good morning Kerry via Warren, The Catherine Kennedy from whom I descend, married William Marjoram, my convict from Suffolk, and she came from Scotland as an immigrant, not Ireland as a convict. I have it on one of her documents that she was a member of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland. One of our neighbours when I was growing up was a Mr. Kennedy, and he was, at that time, the head of the Scots Kennedy Clan in NSW - I believe Ayreshire is the home of the Kennedy Clan in Scotland. Catherine Kennedy and William Marjoram were married in a Church of England Ceremony in 1846 at Green Swamp, an area between Sofala and Bathurst I think, and they were my father's gt.grandparents, through their daughter Frances who married John Hogan at Lucknow, and he was the son of the convict Denis Hogan from Tipperary, Ireland, and Denis's wife Margaret Carey also from somewhere in Ireland , who came here under a scheme to bring more girls to a settlement overloaded with males. There is a very good book written about this scheme, and lots of girls names are in it. William Marjoram left Catherine some time after 1849 when their second child, Robert was born, and Catherine Marjoram died in Moreton Bay General Hospital in Brisbane in 1853, and is buried in an unmarked grave in the old Moreton Bay Cemetery. The children, Frances and Robert, were put into care of some sort, but separated from each other, and did not meet again until they were adults, somewhere around the NSW Central Tablelands goldfields. Frances Hogan nee Marjoram, was my father's grandmother, and he and his sisters spoke very lovingly about her - Frances, besides being the mother of 12 children of whom most survived, became a mid-wife and nurse on the goldfields around Forest Reefs, and I have wondered over the years how many families have her to thank, for her care and attention. My grandfather James Hogan was born at "Lumpy Swamp" (don't you love the names of swamps :-) ) near Carcoar and his mother Frances wrote the most loving post cards to my father and his sisters, all b. NSW around Blayney, Wellington, Carcoar, and lived on many goldfields on the NSW tablelands, and also Kalgoorlie in WA, in their young lives, but eventually ended up living in Sydney, around the Willoughby/Chatswood area. I have a book here which was given to my father by a school teacher, Mr. Sam Bromley, at Chatswood Public School, some time before the beginning of WWl, and Mr. Bromley was still teaching, this time at Willoughby Public School, when I was there at the end of WWll. Its a small world, when you think about it. Liz.

That's fine Kerry, With names as reasonably common, there are many times I have thought I had the correct ones, only to find I had not! All part of the game.
