Not sure how this digest works and how I can get my query up, so I will put up following and look for advice. Thanks to Peter Berne I am looking for Patrick Maly (O'MEALLEY, O'Malley..) and Mary D'arcy. Found them and Darby (believe this is our Jeremiah) in Balyhigh near Killaloe christening records 1831 late last year. Jeremiah 1825 came to Australia around 1849. I strongly suspect, based on newspaper records, that he came with relatives. I believe his parents and two brothers Michael and Patrick came out to Adelaide South Australia with him. Have no proof as yet. Boys were bakers in pt Adelaide. Jerry married Margaret Moloney of Tipperary 1831. Her father, Michael, mother Margaret Boucher. (I suspect Margaret Moloney was also from near Killaloe /Ballina and that the families may have been know to each other?) . They married in Melbourne Victoria. In early 1850s. So the port they arrived at may not have been Adelaide. But they were in Adelaide by mid 1850s. Any links would be useful. Happy to look through records if it can be done online....
