Hello Jan Thank you for your reply . Caroline Grace HENNESSEY is (as you state) the daughter of William & Bridget HENNESSEY & therefore sister of my grandfather, Thomas HENNESSEY. 1. William HENNESSEY's father (James H ) , in Kilkenny Ireland , was a wheelwright so I wouldn't be surprised if the Martin HENNESSY of Hartley St , Rockhampton is a descendent . I'll now have to search that family to see how they fit in. 2. Do you know where in " country Qld " the "second " Martin HENNESSY married Mary POSTICH ? 3. Do you know where Martin HENNESSY & Eliza BRENNAN were married ? Thank you for this valuable information. Kind regards, Lance ( at Werribee Vic ) -------------------------------------------------- From: "Doug & Jan" <jst88221@bigpond.net.au> Sent: Saturday, September 19, 2009 2:46 PM To: <aus-qld@rootsweb.com> Subject: Re: [AUS-QLD] First wife of William HENNESSY > There is a Martin HENNESSY living in Hartley St. Rockhampton occupation > Wheelwright on the 1922 ELECTORAL ROLL > > at the same address is Mary HENNESSY occupation HOme duties. > > there is marriage of a Martin HENNESSY to a Mary POSTICH in Country Qld. > 4-6-1913 ref 1913/000799 *******may be a bit late for your man... but > could be related... > > The Above Martin could be the son of Martin HENNESSY and Eliza BRENNAN > who > was born 18-10-1888 ref 1888/003533 this couple maried 3-10-1883 ref > 1883/000501 > > William and Bridgets dau Caroline Grace HENNESSEY **note spelling > married > James Jackson SUTTON 14-10-1910 ref 1910/000557 > > Jan > ----- Original Message ----- > > > >> Hello List >> Can anybody please advise me how I may find the details of the first >> wife of my great-grandfather , William Grace HENNESSY ? >> William was born in Stoneyford , Kilkenny , Ireland about 1832-1836 to >> James HENNESSY& wife Catherine ( nee GRACE ) .
