Tipperary / Re: Jeremiah CASHEN m. Mary RYAN, in Tipperary

Hi Susan, according to Genealogical Society of Victoria, the Patrick Cashin in the prison system in Tasmania was still in the prison system after the Patrick who married Dorothy Mullumby left for Victoria. Also, that Patrick is not from Cashel but from Cork. I believe you are right about Jeremiah Cashen - check out the Baptism in Cashel of Derby Casheen 26/10/1795, parents William Casheen and Cate Duggan. (The name Derby is a variant of Jeremiah, as I think Johanna is for Nancy.) Are you descended from Patrick? I am from Johanna's line. Cheers, Cathy

"Ann Cashin (b 1840). She married John Myers in NY in 1870 and hence traveled under the name, Ann Meyers."
That wouldn't be "my" Annie then, as my forbear, Johanna, was born earlier. No doubt a relative of some sort though. It seems there might have been two branches of Jeremiah Cashens, and they both  have Johannas too!

Thanks Sue, but not sure how to link the two enquiries.

Great, thanks Sue, that clears up where the Hugh Keon that I've seen mentioned comes from.  Maybe Michael's brother Phillip paid for his passage to Victoria. BTW, how did you find that information on the Sydney Keon arrival?

Wow! Thank you all, I'm blown away by all the information you've come up with! I do feel a bit silly that I didn't first check newspapers for information, a lesson learned! Many more siblings of Michael and Phillip have come to light now, and you've found their mother's emigration and death as well! The mother Margaret's husband Michael Tobyn Keon the elder died in Carricknabrack, Drumshanbo in 1877 (with Susan A Keon present), so that ties in with her coming to Australia in 1884 with Bridget and Emily. On rereading my notes, I'm not certain which ship Michael emigrated on as there are 2 references I've found - as unassisted immigrant to Victoria aged 17 in 1863 on the Camperdown; and to Sydney, as assisted immigrant on the Ocean Empress aged 23 in 1864. You were right to suggest I check, Dundee - on Phillip's 1874 marriage his parents are listed as Michael Tobyn Keon and Margaret O'Beirne. Thanks again everyone!

Hi, I'm hoping someone out there might have more information on the Tobyn Keons of Drumshanbo, Leitrim, Ireland. Phillip Tobyn Keon (born about 1839) came to Australia in 1857, brother Michael Tobyn Keon (born about 1843) in 1864. I'd like to confirm whether Michael and Phillip's parents were Michael Keon and Margaret O'Byrne, and if they had any siblings.
Thanks, Cathy

Michael Ambrose McCormick was born about 1813 in Limerick (I think the city), Ireland. He married Johanna Lunden in her village of Bruff, Limerick. Children Michael 1835 Limerick, Thomas 1837, Elizabeth 1838, Ann abt 1839, Bridget Helena 1840 Bruff. I assume Thomas and Elizabeth died, as they were not on board when they then emigrated to New Zealand (Nelson) on the Bombay in 1842, during which a son was born and died. They left for Australia, can't find when, but I think it had something to do with the Maori uprisings. There is an Andrew born in NSW in 1843, haven't confirmed if same family, but same parents' names. I believe they had 2 daughters in Tasmania, 1848 and 1850.  I am descended through Bridget Helena, who did indeed marry Michael Tobyn Keon in 1865.
Cheers, Cathy

Hello! This is my first dip into rootschat, so here goes ...
I am a descendant of Johanna Cashen, who was born about 1831 in Cashel (not the one born in 1847 posted by Ben999), who married James Fitzgerald in 1853 in Melbourne, Australia.  Whitey, you have Johanna as also Nancey - I'd be grateful if you could confirm this, as I'd seen her also as Annie.  And, have you found the ships on which any of the Cashens arrived in Australia? I'd be happy to share any info from Johanna down, if that is the line you are researching, but haven't been able to go further back.
And Brian, I was in Cashel last month and also met Willie Cashin, still going strong, but not able to help with his distant ancestors.
Regards, Cathy
