Good morning Terry, Thank you for the below, I now have another snippet of information on my families. I could make a guess and say that by the late 1850's there would be at least 6 more houses uninhabited, as that is the total of the Irish families married to various members of my Carroll; Cleary; Dowling; Fennell; Mackey; O'Brian Families. All of the above are recorded on marriage certificates as coming from Clane, Ireland. As I noted before in my earlier email, whole families of the above arrived in Victoria Australia between 1850 and 1859. These comprised Mother Father and their many children. The children seem to come first and the parents follow the next year or so. These are only some of the people from Clane who are my ancestors. Clearly, Fennell, Mackey and Carroll's are my primary 4XGreat grand parents. The poor village did not have much hope of recovery if whole families left. It would have taken a while for it to start to grow again. Thank you kind listers once again for your help. Regards, Jill Jackson Sydney Australia Just for the record, the town of Clane had the following populations. In 1841: total population 335: 186 males: 149 females. houses 56: inhabited 51: uninhabited 4: being built 1. In 1851: total population 333: 168 males: 165 females. houses 65: inhabited 57: uninhabited 8. Mr Terry Arthur.
