Hi Darryl, I have been trying to research ... Roger Kennedy and Ellen Connolly ... from Tipperary. They married in Melbourne in 1866. Roger's parents were .. Patrick Kennedy and Mary Carthy/ McCarthy or Carty ... Ellen's parents were Matthew Connolly and Mary Guilder ? ... on Roger and Ellens' marriage cert in Melbourne there were witnesses of two people, one named (someone) Fogarty and a Bridget Connolly. I am wondering if they all came from the same area in Tipperary ? I cannot find much information on them before Aust. cheers Maree Aus ----- Original Message ----- From: Darryl Scarff To: Rootsweb-Tipperary Sent: Monday, April 27, 2009 4:47 PM Subject: [IRL-TIP] Hayes & Fogarty of Drombane My Tipperary connection is in the vicinity of the townlands of Drombane and Moyaliffe. My g.grandparents were Jeremiah ("Darby") Hayes, born 19 March 1833 ,....... son of John Hayes (of Drombane) and Catherine McCarthy (of Moyaliffe). And Winnifred Fogarty, born 13 December 1829, ........daughter of Jeremiah Fogarty (of Drombane) and Bridget Kennedy (of Drombane). My g.g.grandfather, John Hayes and his brother Thomas Hayes operated a "corn and tuck mill" on the local stream near the present day creamery at Drombane, which was located not far from the ruined remains of Drombane castle. The family were known as "Hayes of the mill". Members of all these families are buried in the adjacent Kilvalure church graveyard adjacent to Drombane and in the Upperchurch graveyard. Many of these ancestors emigrated to Australia in the period 1845-1860. Any information on these families would be appreciated.
