Reposting an old query , have included new info Looking to find more info on Denis McCARTHY and his sister Margaret nee McCARTHY, specifically how they came to Tasmania. I have loads on their descendants but need more on them and their ancestry. All names have various spellings on official records in Tasmania. It is not know if they arrived together or seperatly into Tas but they are linked together in later years through newspaper BDM notices Denis (also spelt Dennis) born about 1827 died in 1885 in Launceston aged 58 and was married twice, firstly to Maria McGLENNON then to Bridget COFFY, earliest childs birth to them is listed as 1851 Margaret was born about 1817 in Cork, Ireland and married in Tasmania in 1835 to James Thomas LESLIE
