Title: William LENEHAN (looking for birth record & parents)
Post by: GrahamGirl on Wednesday 27 February 19 09:29 GMT (UK)

Hi all

Can anyone please help me find a birth record for my great great grandfather, William Lenehan, and his parents' names and if possible marriage record? He emigrated to New South Wales, departing Liverpool 24 April 1841 & arriving Sydney 23 Aug 1841. He was 19 years old and occupation was Joiner, religion Roman Catholic. He had 3 brothers that also emigrated to New South Wales previous to him, their names were Michael, Andrew & Edward.

William served time in prison for theft and died in an asylum in Sydney, both records list his birthplace as County Sligo, and his age on admission to prison and then the asylum indicate he was born either 1822 or 1825.

Many thanks
Debbie
