THANK YOU for admitting me to the List. I am an Australian researcher seeking contact with descendants of my great-great-grandparents JOHN FOGARTY and MARGARET BROPHY. Six Fogarty-Brophy children were christened in Templemore Catholic parish in County Tipperary during 1831-44. The first was my great-grandfather John. His entry in the baptismal register gave the family`s place of residence as Old Town Templemore. My great-grandfather married my great-grandmother Margaret Kennedy in the Toomevara area in 1870. The marriage registration said the groom`s father was John Fogarty, farmer, deceased. My great-grandparents emigrated in 1878. John Fogarty`s emigration papers said his parents were both deceased. I know nothing further about the parents after the 1844 Fogarty-Brophy christening. My great-grandparents and their children arrived in Sydney on 12th January, 1879 by the ship “Northampton”. The family reached Wagga in southern New South Wales by 1880. My great-grandfather became a gardener with the Wagga council. He had a brother named Michael who was christened in Templemore Catholic parish in 1836. Michael`s entry in the baptismal register gave the family`s residence as Ballaheen. Michael reached Australia by 1864. He married Alice Corr or Carr at Warwick in south-east Queensland that year and became a resident of nearby Leyburn. Regards, Andrew Fogarty Casino N.S.W.
