Hello, I haven't posted to this list for quite a few years now. I thought that I would repost my ancestors information to see if anyone out there could help. Samuel Hogan was an agriculturalist, who was born in Tipperary in 1800. I don't know specifically where in Tipperary he was born. Samuel married Margaret Noonan (born 1803) They had the following children: 1. Mary Hogan born 1821 in Ireland 2. Thomas Hogan born 1821 in Ireland 3. Ellen Hogan born 1822 in Ireland 4. John Hogan born 1823 in Bansha Co. Tipperary married:Eliza O'Neil 11th Feb 1848 Port Fairy Victoria, Australia. Died 30th Jan 1890 in Melbourne 5. Bridget Hogan born 1824 in Ireland & died 1914 in Murchison, Victoria 6. Judith Hogan born 1834 in Ireland According to the Tipperary Family history research centre there were 2 other children born to Samuel and Margaret,(Margaret & David)but there was no mention of them having travelled to Australia with their parents. ? where they deceased, or adopted out and left in Ireland. 7. Margaret born 24th Feb 1837 in Ireland 8. David born 18th May 1839 in Ireland Samuel, Margaret and 6 children left Plymouth in 1839 on board the "William Metcalffe" arriving in Australia that year. Margaret died on board. I am interested in finding out any more about this family, and the 2 children who never came to Australia with the family. I appreciate any help I can get. Regards, Joan
