Title: Daniel GORMAN born 5 Nov 1839 Mitchelstown, Ireland
Post by: phveens on Monday 15 July 13 23:31 BST (UK)
Greetings
A friend has asked me to try to find information about Daniel Gorman born 5 Nov 1839 Mitchelstown, Ireland. He was married to Johanna Hayes in 1864 to Johanna Hayes in Brisbane, Australia. The family have the details of his marriage and subsequent fourteen children but they don't know anything about his ancestry other than his mother's name was Mary and where he was born.
They have also been trying to find his immigration to Australia which was possibly around 1841/1842 and possibly to Tasmania but can't confirm that.
If there is anyone reading this who can help in any way we would be most appreciative.
Thanks

rootsireland is showing only one birth record for a Daniel Gorman in Mitchelstown R.C. parish -  the year is 1834 but putting in Mary as mother did no give any hit- so there is no certainty it is the one you are looking for. To view/download the full transcription you would have to register and then buy some credits -a record works out about 3 to 5 euros depending on the number of credits you buy.

Thank you all for your messages and sugggestions. Much obliged.
I now know Daniel's father's name was Rodger (didn't know that when I sent the query).
