Australia / Re: Confused - Hughie Whelan
« on: Tuesday 04 August 15 07:26 BST (UK) »
Hi. I don't think Hughie (Hugh Whelan) is one of your relatives, although not 100% sure. We think he was the 5th child of Hugh & Margaret (Biddy) Whelan (Wheelan) , from Tipperary, who arrived on the Sibella 18th March 1852:- http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?dateFrom=1850-01-01&l-advstate=South+Australia&sortby=dateAsc&q=hugh+wheelan+Whelan+sibella
The obituary in Trove was uncorrected text, it actually reads he died in the Seven Stars Hotel in Adelaide. We think that branch of the Whelans lived in Kent Town, they had a connection to Logue's Brewery and went on to manage several hotels. His uncle Darby died in a flood while working at the brewery, also in Trove.
