Thanks for this! Could be headed in the right direction.
Looked back over the marriage certificate and Riordan actually fits better than Richardson!

Tipperary / Blake and Hickey families Tipperary
« on: Sunday 06 July 25 04:21 BST (UK)  »
Looking for some help or a point in the direction of where to look for further information on some newly discovered ancestors of mine.
John Blake, 27, servant, and Mary Ann Hickey, 23, domestic, married in St Francis' Catholic Church Melbourne, Australia in 1870. Details are all from marriage certificate.
Both born in County Tipperary, Ireland. Respective parents are Patrick Blake and Mary Richardson(?could be something similar handwriting is a bit hard to read) and John Hickey and Johanna Quirk/Burke.
Patrick Blake's occupation listed as Servant
John Hickey's occupation listed as Farmer
I am seeking further information on these families in Ireland but understand that it can be difficult to trace during this time. Appreciate any help!

Hi all - thanks for fleshing out a bit of information. Yes have found all the other trees on ancestry and find a grave. Lots of information on Frederick and Martha's children!
I'm not convinced of the Baegnelstown birth in 1821 for Martha - lots of trees then seem to have her as a daughter of a John and Martha Matthews who ended up in Shoreditch, London. No trees link any sources that make sense to me. Was hoping to find some more information that would lead me back to more family in Ireland.

Ireland / Re: Sarah Matthews McClintock and family - Dungannon, Tyrone

Thanks for the few hints there - yes I definitely should've mentioned they were presbyterian - makes a big difference of where to look for Irish records.

Dungannon Presbyterian has records in PRONI - baptisms 1790-1886 and marriages 1785-1844 but have only managed to locate some of the children of John and Sarah Matthews MCCLINTOCK in these records

Ireland / Sarah Matthews McClintock and family - Dungannon, Tyrone
« on: Thursday 23 January 25 03:01 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all, looking for some help. I've gotten quite stuck with finding Irish records. Most of my experience is with England, Scotland and Australia. I have some family that I'm trying to find out more about.
Sarah Matthews married John McClintock in Dungannon in 1851 - they had John, Thomas and Francis in Dungannon and then moved to Cavan and had Rebecca, Mary, Martha and Emma Margaret. Sarah died in 1898 and John in 1902 in Cavan. I've obtained the marriage certificate and their death certificates. Sarah's father was William Matthews, Painter. I've recently connected her as a sister to a Martha Matthews who emigrated to the US in the 1840s and married Friedrich Heiderstadt. Two of Sarah's daughters emigrated in the 1880s and lived with their aunt Martha. John jnr emigrated to Australia in 1875 and Emma remained in Ireland marrying David Murphy and moving to Rathfryland.
Looking to expand on this family and find more information about the family in Ireland further back if possible. Would greatly appreciate some help or a point in the right direction. :)

United States of America / Martha Heiderstadt (nee Matthews) Geneva, Nebraska
« on: Thursday 23 January 25 02:20 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all! I'm not super familiar on navigating US records (most of my family are based in UK or Australia so I only pay for those subscriptions on Ancestry) - was hoping for some help on finding information on the life of Martha Matthews (born around 1821 in Ireland) who married Frederick Heiderstadt (1819-1914) in Monroe, Conneticut in 1850. They then lived at Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin for a while before ending up in Geneva, Nebraska where she died in 1890. I've found the relevant census records and some obituary information. Martha had come from Northern Ireland. In the 1880s two nieces Rebecca and Martha McClintock (daughters of Martha's sister Sarah) came to live with her in Geneva. I am trying to gather as much information as possible on this family. Immigration records, marriage, birth records of children, death records etc - any more extended family that may lead me back to Ireland? Any points in a good direction would be great.

Hi,
It is entirely possible that our lines do meet up at some point. May have to go back quite a few generations to figure the connection out though. If there is one to be found.

Dawn, I know I may be wishing too much but have you made a connection between this family in the respect of William's father John. I haven't been able to make an absolute connection.
