Hi
Just wondered if anyone is still following this post. The Hugh Meehan (1830-1898) mentioned earlier is my husbands 2 x ggrandfather.
I can see that Owen Meehan paid the deposit for family members to come to Australia. They are listed as:
Patrick Meehan (30) - Owen and Rose's son. He appears to have died in 1860 crossing a river while drunk.
Susan Meehan (30) - Patricks wife - her name is actually blank on list but is Susan
Rosanna Meehan (16) - Patrick and Susan's daughter
Anne Meehan (14) - Patrick and Susan's daughter
Michael Meehan (12) - Patrick and Susan's son
Susannah Meehan ( 8 ) -Patrick and Susan's daughter
Owen McNally (3) - Patrick and Susan's son. This is the Owen McNally that died in 1857. He drowned aged 5.
Honorah Meehan (25) - Owen and Roses daughter
Hugh Meehan (24) - Hugh and Bridget's son
Honorah Meehan (25) This is a second Honorah. Not sure who her parents are as I can't find her on the list of the Simond. Perhaps Hugh and Bridget?

Rose Mulholland (23)
Patrick McNally (40)
Elizabeth McNally (38)
Margaret McNally (22)
Honora McNally (15)
Nicholas McNally (13)
Rose McNally (

I'm working on the assumption that Owen and Hugh Snr were brothers in an attempt to find out what happened to Hugh Snr and to try and work out who their parents were. I'm also looking for other siblings of Hugh Jnr if they exist.
