Thanks everyone for your help and all the links which I am going through.

I bought the 1859 marriage cert last week and it confirms that it was indeed the James Gleeson of Co. Limerick that I was looking for. Bridget was the daughter of Thomas (not John as recorded on death record) & Margaret.

On Family Search, I found 2 baptisms in St. Mary's, Geelong (same church where James & Bridget were married) and a marriage in 1888 in Wagga Wagga whose parents were James G & Bridget Ryan.  I have not located these births on the BMD records.

So to sum up the info at hand: James arrived in Victoria prior to 1857 and acquired land in Puebla. He married Bridget Ryan in 1859 in Geelong and had possibly the following children:=

Johanna - baptism 1859
Catherine - baptism 1863
James 1866
Ellen 1868
Margaret 1870
Patrick 1870
Mrs Leola (Bridget Kewley died at the home of her daughter). 
Michael Thomas John who married in Wagga Wagga 1888. ?? Michael had the Prince of Wales Hotel in Wagga Wagga and later his son John Dudley was kiled
(Bridget had 3 daughters & 1 son living at the time of her death in 1918)

Having left farming c1863, James became a publican & hotel owner and moved north to Echuca where he died in 1876.

Bridget remarried Kewley in 1882 and had difficult times with her new husband!

I haven't found any relevant death records in Victoria with parents James Gleeson & Bridget Ryan but Michael Thomas John's death record below is showing Michael for father. Could this be an error?

Thanks again for your assistance.

I am looking for help in locating any details on this James & Katie -  https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:24SW-ZYM .

James was born in Co. Limerick in 1857 to James Real & Mary Manning/Mangan.

Spades,

Thanks for explanation.  Yes, I do indeed want the printout, fingers crossed it will have all the relevant info.  Thx again.

I think this is likely to be associated with that submitted tree :

NSW BDM online index has Anne CARTY, Vol 140, line 1321, and drilling down I suspect she died or was buried 10 May 1853

Cheers,  JM

Interesting! I will have to look again at the online family trees.

This would have been a church burial record in that case.
