Hi Listers Biddy & Owen DOOLAN bought land at Romsey in the first sale of Crown grant land at Kilmore in 1855. They, and their two sons, Patrick and Michael moved there from, I think, the Bulla district c1855/56. Their daughter, Gilley Maria, her husband William HAGERTY and their first two daughters Mary and Jane moved to Lancefield, possibly around 1858. Three, possibly four more children were born to them there. Gilley Maria "took up" with William Henry MORRIS, a saddler, possibly around 1864 and had numerous children by him, before eventually marrying him, in Lancefield, in 1877 (presumably the year William Hagerty died, although I have not been able to verify that). Only the youngest Morris child, Joseph Goodwin, was borne in wedlock. Owen and Patrick Doolan obtained leases on land in the Pyalong district under the 1869 Land Act in the name of DOWLING. The Hagertys were referred to as HEGARTY, HAGGERTY, HEGGARTY, etc. At some time, perhaps after her marriage to William Henry Morris, Gilley dropped her first name and was known as Maria Morris. Theirs is a long and complicated story and I am eager to hear from anyone who might be working on any of these families. Regards Lorraine Vass Wyrallah NSW
