I have found my NOLAN family for all those interested Have not found a connection with anyone, but someone else may have a bit more information than I do Patrick Nolan married Hanora O'Meara in Ireland. Patrick was a Farmer. I do not know how many children they had I only know of one son. Martin Nolan b. 1826/7 baptised Nenagh, Tipperary, Ireland. Married 26 January 1862 in Beaufort, Victoria, Australia to Anne Conway. Anne was baptised County Kilkenny, Ireland 29 August 1840. Martin was a policeman in Crowlands, Victoria, Australia. They had one daughter Mary-Ann Nolan b. 1862 Crowlands, Victoria, Australia; d. 1934. She married Michael Franc 1889. They had six daughters and two sons. The Conway's came to Australia on the 'Stamboul arriving in Melbourne on 21 August 1854. I do not know when the Nolan's came to Australia. I hope this is of help to someone. Kind regards Sharon
