I wonder if anyone can help me with my family who arrived in Australia, most probably Queensland.
They were John Hanify & his wife Ellen (Sheridan). They were married 1883 in Ireland and their first recorded child was born & died in March 1885 in Queensland.
So they must have arrived between 1883 & 1885.
I have not been able to find them on any shipping lists.

I can find a 'Catherine Hanify' that arrived in Sydney NSW as an assisted immigrant aboard the ship "HEREFORD" in 1878 aged 22 years. State Records NSW
Going by FamilySearch there are some HANIFY family members (possibly related to your bunch) that travelled from Victoria to settle in Brisbane"
Their port of arrival may have been Melbourne Vic.

From my old memory:
The Page-Hanify family lived at Manly-Wynnum, a Moreton Bay suburb of Brisbane.
C Page-Hanify became the Registrar of the Queensland University at st. Lucia Brisbane,

Addendum:
My Google search reveals that there may have been an earlier NZ connection -
[This could explain your difficulty in fiinding the shipping records.

Hello there Albino and welcome to rootschat
http://ndpbeta.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/2819932
you can search this wonderfull resource on line for Hanify. I noted that there were several articles on Hugo Page Hanify :o
Do you have their death certificates that often says how long in the colony.
Unfortunately the Qld Immigration Indexs that are on line are not working at the moment though

Thanks to everybody !!!
I have looked at most of these suggested links .
I have birth & death certificates from Queensland archives, no help.
Maybe they did come via New Zealand!! I have other family who did and have never been able to find their travel records.
It's such a shame we don't get interested in family history before all our older family members depart!!

Hi Alberta - I am descended from Ellen Hanify who married Alfred Williams in 1907 - Ken

Hello there kenreb
Welcome to roots chat I am sure that Alberta will be happy to meet a family memeber, do you have anything to help her in her research for the family arrival?
Jenn

Hi Alberta - am just learning how to use this - Ellen Hanify was my great grandmother - quite a character she was too I beleive. She married Alfred Williams in 1907. He was later killed in an accident and she married John Johnson in the 1920's. Ellen died in Griffitn NSW in 1963. Ellen's mother was also called Ellen - she was the daughter of Thomas Sheridan and Catherine Halloran. She married John Hanify in 1881 in Loughreagh, Galway, Ireland. The date I have for arrival in Australia is 1884 but I cannot remember where I got this from. Ellen died in Roma on the 2/1/1907. I hae her date of birth as 1854 and birthplace as Kiltullagh. I you want to email me I am happy to send you a photo of my g/grandmother Ellen /Hanify/Williams/Johnson. I also one of Mary Ann Hanify but have to find it!!!! Ken
-
Hi Jen - hope I am using this correctly :-) The date I have for arrival in Australia is 1884. Itis many years since I started my research so I cannot really remember where I got that date from. Sometimes they used to write "how long in the colonies" on a death certtificate. For some reason I have just started looking at research again - God save me. Ken
-
Yes Ken you are doing fine, and heaven help you if you have caught the Genie bug again ;)
Jenn
-
Yer I know - I just ordered an NSW certificate - my wife is gunna kill me for getting into it again!!!! I hope Alberta read this again as my Great Granny Ellen was shall we say "colourful". She died before I was born but my mother adored her but she was still "colourful".

Kenreb
Hope you are using a transcription agent as they are certainly quicker and a lot cheaper, that will appease the wife!!!
Jenn
-
Hi Ken,
I'm sure we have been in touch before but it is some time back!!
I would dearly love to see the photo of Mary Ann Hanify!! I have one lifted from another photo when she was fairly old!!

Hi Ken
My better half, yes she who must be obeyed, lol, is the granddaughter of Michael Hanify, he was brought up by John and Ellen and born in Roma Qld circa 1901. Her name is Deb and grew up in Yenda NSW and she thinks you will know of her as she has a cousin Ken and perhaps u are he and either way, we would luv to get in touch with you if possible. We have checked the Hanify discussion board which has answered many of her questions. She did not know much about her grandfathers family but we do have his marriage cert to Ellen Rose Arnold from 1956. They are both deceased now as are Debs mother and father. Deb has no pics of John or Ellen or their children born in the late 1800's and we noticed you mentioned there may be some somewhere. Any information you might be able to help with about the Hanify family would be very very appreciated Ken. Anyway we are new to this site so not sure if I will get a notification email to my home email if you get a chance to respond on this discussion board but will keep checking both. Take Care, thank you and the other generous contributors to this topic for the wonderful information we have gained already due to what must have been a lot of long hours spent researching. Deb and Grant. :)

Hi Deb & Grant,
I'm Alberta. My Husband's mother was a daughter of Mary Ann Hanify & Thomas Nangle.
Her grand parents were John Hanify & Ellen Sheridan.
Maybe I can help you in some way!!
Alberta

Thats fantastic Alberta. I saw on another post that private emails were removed and an instruction was given to use a link....if that is possible please feel free to emial us through that link also might be more private if that is ok on one subject in particular.
Wow you just gave us some info of great interest, who Mary's husband was. Deb is related through her also we are fairly sure but hopefully there is a way to chat privately about that. We are new here and better read some more instructions on how that can happen unless you know? Thanks again and yes I have no doubt you would help us greatly through your husbands mothers line. Deb and Grant.

Just wanted to jump in with my knowledge of the NZ Hanify's who were mentioned previously. Hugo Page Hanify is the grandson of Michael John Page Hanify and Annie Maria Josepha Lane. Michael Hanify moved from Galway to Australia in 1857 and Annie Lane from Newcastle, and they married in 1858 in Victoria, Australia.
Their son Hugo James Haren Page Hanify, born in St Kilda, Victoria, moved to NZ.
While they may be related to your Hanify's from back in Ireland, they're not connected down under.
