Sounds like a pretty good way to spend your older years, Christopher 8) -  cooler than bowling!

Hi Christopher,

Thank you for this link - very interesting and it looks like another few mis-spent hours for me coming up.

Just checked quickly for the DYNES name - lots of them but the NEWS name would be impossible, I think, because of all the references to newspapers etc. that show up.

I appreciate all the help you give.

All the best,
Gail

Australia / Re: HENRY, CONDON and MCCLUNG families

Hi Christine,

I'm sure they arrived in Australia via space ship - have checked everything twice over, at least. ???

However, today found a reference to a Charles HENRY on a domestic arrival in 1880 - will have to get to the State Records (again!) though to check it out which may not be for a little while.

Still have hope  :P

With thanks,
Gail

Hi Christine,

Charles Bernard HENRY d. 1885 at Waterloo, Sydney and the informant was a neighbour ... so, as you say, very likely wrong information. The wife's name was given as Ellen BROWN b. Co Armagh - but when she remarried in 1891 she gave her parents as Patrick NEWS & Mary Jane DYNES.

The children are:

Margaret Ann b. abt 1880
Ellen b. about 1880

Then the two born in Waterloo, Sydney (which I've found)
Sarah J b. 1883
John b. 1885

Ellen HENRY d. 1932 and her daughter Sarah MCCLUNG (nee HENRY) was the informant and she also gave her mother's maiden name as BROWN.

I'll do as you suggest and order Ellen HENRY's b. cert - as I have a date and Reg. No for that and see what it says.

Thank you so much for your input.

Australia / HENRY, CONDON and MCCLUNG families
« on: Wednesday 17 October 07 05:48 BST (UK)  »
Charles HENRY b. 1846 Ireland married Ellen ??, according to his death cert. in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia -

His parents were John HENRY and Jane O'CONNELL

I cannot find a record of the marriage on the Vic. BDMs nor the birth of two children.

Margaret Ann HENRY b. abt 1880 - m. James CONDON 1897 Waterloo.
Ellen HENRY b. about 1880 - died before 1932.

Have found the birth of two subsequent children.
Sarah J b. 1883 - m. Norman Hunt MCCLUNG 1907 Hillgrove, NSW
John b. 1885 in Waterloo, Sydney, NSW - d. 1885.

Would love to hear from anybody with connections to these lines.

With thanks,
Gail

Ireland / Charles Bernard HENRY b 1846
« on: Wednesday 17 October 07 05:39 BST (UK)  »
Charles Bernard HENRY b. Ireland 1846 - parents were John HENRY and Jane O'CONNELL.

Charles m., according to his death cert., in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia to Ellen (possibly NEWS) but I can't find any record in the Victorian BDMs nor can I find records for the birth of their first two children.

Has anybody got any HENRY/O'CONNELL connections in their ancestry?

If so, would love to hear from you.

Hi Anthony,

Would you kindly look-up the NEWS name for me?

Interested in any listing of that name.

One of my ancestors was Patrick NEWS, farmer who was m. in Craigavon, Seagoe, Co Armagh.

With thanks,
Gail (in Australia)

Hi Keith,

Good to hear from you and I hope you do get a break-through with your line.

Let us know how it goes.

Thought this snippet from the Craigavon Historical Society may interest you:

Family Names in Lurgan
by P. Creery

From Review - Journal of the Craigavon Historical Society Vol. 1 No. 1

In leases dated about 1624, we find such Irish names as Owen O'Neale, Shane McAlinden, Murtagh McAtananey, Donnell McCawhelly, and, naturally, the inevitable McCanns. After the Williamite wars of 1689-91, we find that these Irish tenants were replaced by English tenants with names like Wilson, Turkington, Irwin, Patterson, Dynes and Robbs.

All the best,
Gail

Clare / SULLIVAN & McINERHNY, Kilfearagh
« on: Tuesday 14 August 07 07:23 BST (UK)  »
I've just discovered another convict in my tree. Tried at Clare 25 Feb 1834 and sentenced to death -  comuted to transportation, arriving in Australia on the Blenheim in 1834.

Mention was made at the trial of his uncle Michael McHENRY 10 years previously which I assume meant that he was also convicted of a crime.

Australian records indicate that his uncle was actually called Michael McINERHNY of the village of LISDEEN in the Parish of Kilfeareagh.

A search of the Tithe Appointment Books for 1820-1840s shown both the SULLIVAN and the McINERHNY names in the Kilfeareagh parish.

Would like to contact anybody with connection to these names.

With thanks,
Gail
