Australia / Re: KNEE/GORRICK

Hi - I was wondering if anyone could help me with my researching of the Mantle/Knee/Gorrick/Tierney families.  My main concern seems to be much the same as others - finding the names of the fathers for Amelia Emilie Gorrick Knee and her daughter Violet Emily Maude Tierney Knee.  The name "Tierney" has got me so confused.  I have found the name of Patrick Tierney on Ancestry and Google sites, but no verification or any sources to confirm him as the father of Violet.  She has the name "Tierney" as one of her christian names and then on her marriage regn. it is listed as her surname.

I have read the book by Elva Dade and I did not find any mention of the name "Tierney" and of course the "Gorrick" name also confusing.

If anyone could help with documentation to find the fathers names of these two persons, I would appreciate their assistance.

Many many thanks

The family I am researching is Joseph Mantle, Mary Ann Hulks & Daniel Knee:
I am looking for information or documentation of Fathers for children Amelia Emilie Gorrick Knee and her daughter Violet Emily Maude T Knee. I am so confused and just can't seem to figure this one out.  I have looked at Ancestry & Google and in many cases it mentions Albert Gorrick father to Amelia Emilie, sometimes referred to as Emilie. And her daughter Violet - there has been mention that the "T" in her name could be "Tierney" and that her father could be Patrick Tierney.

On reading the book "And The women Should Not Weep" by Elva Dade - it is suggested that Daniel Knee's brother George is in fact the father of Amelia Emilie Knee - he, changing his name to cut ties with family in UK and marrying under the name of Albert Gorrick.  There is no mention of the name "Tierney" (or I have not found it) being father to Violet.  Elva Dade suggests that P C Gorrick is the father.

Hoping I can get some answers.
