Pete, Thank-you so much for your reply. Your theory made perfect sense to me. As a test, I went back to the Ancestry site and searched all the Tithe Applotment entries for "Kilpeak". There are only eight entries; all read "Kilpeak, Erry", and all are dated 1827. Nothing at all for "Kilpheak". Then I looked at Griffith's Val. 1853 and found no entries at all under "Kilpeak" but nine entries listed as "Kilpheak, St. Patricksrock". So it does appear that sometime between 1827 and 1853, the boundaries changed. There is some consistency of surnames on both lists, ie. Hogans and Murphys. Also interesting that the spelling is so very consistent in each set of records; guessing that reflects the original Irish placename in the Tithe Applotments and an Anglicized version of same in Griffith's Val. Thanks again for helping me solve the mystery! Karen.

Good afternoon Karen, Are you looking for Hogan family? I am descended from a Denis Hogan who was born somewhere in Tipperary ca 1811, and who came to Australia as a convict in the 1830s. Unfortunately, when the Irish convicts came here, there was very little information on their families, and I have no idea who were his parents, or where he actually lived. In Australia, Denis married a Margaret Carey, who I assume from what I have read about her, was also Irish. Their children were named James, John, Mary and Timothy. Denis died in 1850, and Margaret died in 1853, both in Sydney, and so far as I can work out Mary b. 1845 and Timothy b. 1848 did not marry, There is a Timothy Hogan dying around the mid 1850s, no parents names shown, who could well be their son. Mary's date of death is not known. I can remember my cousin telling me years ago, that someone in our earlier families became a Nun, and I think perhaps it might be this Mary Hogan. James and John both went on to have large families here in New South Wales. If you should come across a Denis Hogan who suddenly disappears, he could well be mine, and I would love to hear about him. Elizabeth Walker, nee Hogan.
