Dear Leona, What are your KENNEDY interests? I have Ann, Bridget, Richard and Thomas Kennedy departed Tipperary, Ireland via Plymouth, England aboard the Joshua in late 1851. They were the children of Mathew KENNEDY and Margaret DWYER. Ann married Thomas O'BRIEN. They settled first in Kilmore, Vic. and later moved to the Shepparton area. Ann and Thomas had six children. Richard died in Melbourne a year after their arrival unmarried. Thomas married a fellow Tipp, Alice COMAN, whose family had settled at Kyneton, Vic. They too, first settled in the Kilmore area then moved north to the Shepparton area. They had seven children. Margaret married Andrew PATTISON from a large renowned Shepparton family. They in turn had ten children. John went to Yerong Park, NSW. Mathew married Kathleen O'BRIEN. They had no children. Thomas operated a creamery at Caniambo. Ellen married John ROSEINGRAVE and settled in Daylesford, Vic. Thomas and Alice had two daughters who died in infancy. Thomas died in 1907 age 73 and is buried with his wife in the Violet Town cemetery. Bridget married Cornelius COMANS and died in 1926 aged 94.Kind Regards, Elizabeth Pidgeon 'Leafy' Eltham, Victoria, Australia Please visit our web site at http://www.users.bigpond.com/peter_pidgeon/ Research Names: http://www.perthdps.com/research/pid01.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leona Smithurst" <kingskid@ozxpress.com.au> To: <AUS-VIC-CENTRAL-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 17, 2002 5:49 PM Subject: [AVC] Re: My NAMES Interests > Hello, > I am researching > CUNDY: William Henry, and Harold > SOUTHAM > SCANLAN > OSWALD: Michael Henry and Henry Herbert > KENNEDY: > SMITHURST > Any one with possible interest in any of these and/or allied names......It > would be great to hear from you, from Leona in Toowoomba Queensland. > kingskid@ozxpress.com.au > > ______________________________
