One Name Studies: A to G / doolan
« on: Friday 22 April 05 05:35 BST (UK) »
I am trying to trace my family history. My ancestors came to Australia as Free Settlers in about 1824. They settled at Braidwood, NSW, then moved to Quipolly Creek, Quirindi, Werris Creek, in the Hunter Valley. My side of the Family, Jack Doolan and his wife, had three girls and and a boy (Roy) in the Hunter, then moved to Sydney where they had Percy George (my grandfather) in 1881. Percy and Alice (nee Ormond) had six girls and two boys (Cliford and Errol). Errol is my father.
I would like to find the name of Jack's father, who I think was the free settler. There is a Francis(?) Doolan buried in Braidwood cemetry. I would like to know where the Doolans came from in Ireland and if the whole family came out or just one/two of the boys, if any went to other parts of the world and if there are any of that family line still living in Ireland. Thank you.
