Maggie -- I have found the 1846 Fogarty-Dwyer baptismal record. It was in part 25 of my file. I was not as clever about my filing as I thought. Part 28 is still missing. I obtained the Fogarty-Dwyer record in January 1994. In the original writing, the record states that Catherine Fogarty, aged 17 days, was baptised on 26th October, 1846 with Roger Heffernan or possibly Haffernan and apparently Bridget Ryan as sponsors. The parents are identified as Thomas Fogarty and Catherine Dwyer of Collingwood. I have the impression that the rite was performed at Melbourne`s Saint Francis` Catholic church. The Reverend John J. Therry officiated. I have looked again at the disc work`s treatment of this baptism. The disc work says the sponsors were Roger Haffernan and Bridget Flynn. Regards, Andrew Fogarty Casino N.S.W.

Andrew .. thank you for your email to me regarding this matter. The reason I am interested in the Fogarty's is purely because there is a witness named Fogarty on my ancestors' (Roger Kennedy and Ellen Connolly) marriage certificate .. in 1866 at the Emerald Hill Catholic Church, in Melbourne. With a Bridget Connolly as their other witness. I was thinking that I could find out where my Kennedys came from .. if they were friends with the Fogartys. It says on the marriage cert that the Kennedys and Connollys came from Drum Co. Tipperary. Other than that I don't know for sure any other info. Nothing proven .. Also, Roger and Ellen Kennedy's daughter Mary-Jane Kennedy was married 13 Sep 1886, in the same St Francis Roman Catholic Church in Melbourne as you are referring to here. I am just going on gut feeling .. but I am sure they are all inter-twined somehow. cheers Maree ----- Original Message ----- From: Andrew Fogarty To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2009 5:10 PM Subject: [IRL-TIP] For Maggie Heffernan about Fogarty-Dwyer baptism Maggie -- I have found the 1846 Fogarty-Dwyer baptismal record.
