HINCHEY / HINCHY Ann; CLA,IRL; -1831 My gr gr gr grandmother Ann/Hannah HINCHEY/HINCHY, of the townland of Drumline in Co. Clare, married Jeremiah BRUGGY around 1831, probably either in the parish of Newmarket-on-Fergus, where the offspring to be named shortly were baptised, or in Ennis. Her Bruggy children included those appearing in the aforementioned baptism records (Annie, March 1832; Mary, August 1834; Lot, August 1840) as well as those missing from the incomplete baptism records (Stephen, c.1830; Jeremiah, c.1837; and my ancestor Margaret, c.1838). It is thought that, widowed in the late 1850s, Ann and son Stephen emigrated to England, where descendants still live today, and other children (Jeremiah, Lot and Margaret) to New South Wales. Nothing is known of the destinies of children Annie or Mary. Together with the children coming to Australia came one Michael Hinchey of Meelick (near Newmarket-on-Fergus), probably Ann's nephew. Of course, Hinchey was not an uncommon name in that part of Clare at that time. Many emigrated to Australia during the Famine and later, and much info is held on Australian Hinchey descendants.
