Good morning Val, I'm sorry, no, that is not my Denis Hogan, but thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, I have no knowledge of the names of Denis' parents, nor do I have any info on their lives in Ireland, apart from them, presumably, being farm labourers in Tipperary. In 1841, my Denis Hogan was working somewhere between Windsor, New South Wales, and Sydney! In 1842 in Sydney, Denis married Margaret Carey, b. ca 1811, an Irish immigrant who came here on one of the first trials of immigration, particularly of women. I contributed my slight information on Margaret Carey to Elizabeth Rushen, who was looking for contributions to enable her to write "Single and Free - Female Migration to Australia 1833-1837", and I was subsequently rewarded with a little more info. on Margaret before she arrived here. Denis and Margaret's first child was James Hogan b. 1835, Windsor, New South Wales, d. 1892, North Sydney; the second was John, b (baptised??) 12.6.1842, Sydney d. 1895, Forest Reefs N.S.W.; the third was Mary b. ca 1845, probably in Sydney - no further knowledge, and the fourth was Timothy, b. 25.4.1848 Sydney who possibly died ca 1856. There is scant info. on Mary and Tim, and I think they may have been placed in a R.C. Orphanage, as their parents were deceased by the time these two children died. One of my aunts, Frances, (named after the following Frances Marjoram), started me on all this family history nearly 40 years ago. At some stage many years ago, someone told me that there was a Nun in our family, and I think this might have been Denis' daughter, Mary, but have no way of proving it. Timothy was b. May 1848, and I have no other knowledge on him, except that I think he died about 1856, but can't prove it. Those four children's names are also Saints' names, so it makes it difficult to know the names of previous ancestors. I am descended from John Hogan, who married Frances Marjoram (the daughter and grand-daughter of my English convicts, William and Robert Marjoram from Bredfield, Suffolk) in Lucknow NSW in 1866. John Hogan was probably a farm hand, but he eventually became a gold miner, and looking at the births of their 12 children, they were all born on the Central Tablelands gold-fields, around Forest Reefs, Carcoar, Molong and Orange. My grandfather James Hogan, was baptised 3.11.1872 at Lumpy Swamp (Carcoar), married Adeline Newstead, and my father, Wilfred John Hogan was born at Brown's Creek, Blayney in 1902, where the Newsteads, immigrants from Norfolk, settled as farmers. Frances Hogan, apart from bringing up her 12 children, went on to be a mid-wife on the goldfields mentioned above. My father's sister, also Frances, told me all about their young lives spent between the Hogan/Marjoram family, and the Newstead family. I would still have connections to those families, but most did not seem to get into family history! My father and his sisters also lived on the Kalgoorlie goldfields for a while in their very young lives, but eventually ended up in the Chatswood/Willoughby area, and that is where I lived until about 4 years ago, when I decided to move to a less busy part of New South Wales. Only James and John went on to have large families, and I think a number of James Hogan's children might have been born in the area a bit north of Newcastle (NSW).
