Hi Mark,

I must confess to finding your interest intriguing. Are you from the Spellissy side of the family? The padre's father Michael Molony married a Catherine Spellissy. He was a customs and excise officer. I would be happy to email any photos you want.

Cheers,

Ed.

Hi Mark,

My name is Ed.  I've emailed Trish a couple of photos of the padre. He was one of my mother's uncles. Would be interested in swapping details about the Molony family. I know a fair bit about them but there are a few blanks. I have photos of his father Michael, his brother Jim and sister Mary Catherine.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers,

Ed

Hi Trish,

Glad to hear from you. I guess we are distant cousins.

Michael Molony was my great grand father on my mother's side of the family. His daughter Mary Catherine
married Edward Finnegan in Belfast. He and his brothers were wine and spirit merchants in Dundee Scotland in the early 1900s. You can access this info from the Dundee postal directories which are on line. John Patrick's father, Michael Molony was a customs and excise officer who also spent some time in Dundee. If you were in the liquor trade, he would be a handy contact for the Finnegan boys.
 
Edward Finnegan and his brother in law James Vincent Molony came to W.A. aboard the SS Orient in 1906
and Mary Catherine and four kids followed on the RMS Ophir in 1910. J V Molony went to WW1 with the 1st AIF, first as a reinforcement at Gallipoli then was wounded at Pozieres on the Western Front and evacuated back to Australia.

Looking forward to sharing this stuff with you Trish.

Cheers,

Ed.

Hi Trish,

If you are interested, I have two photographs of Father John Patrick Molony.  One shows him in his military uniform and the other in his priest clothing.  I also have photos of his father Michael Molony, his brother James Vincent Molony  and his sister Mary Catherine Molony as well as printed info about the family.

Cheers,

Ed ( Perth Western Australia )
