Owen Shine (born c.1843) was my 2nd great grandfather. He emigrated to Australia in 1864, aged 21 (per Sirocco, arr. 3 Oct 1864, depositor Eugene Leader). His native place is given as Boherbue, Cork. In 1865 he paid the deposit for a Catherine (Kate) Shine, aged 19, farm servant of Gortateeboy. (I'm not sure if this was his sister or a relative). Owen married Eliza Jane Palmer in Orange NSW, 1873. No details of parents are given on the marriage certificate. Owen died in Eugowra, NSW 21 Feb 1898. According to his death certificate his father's name was Michael. This may or may not be accurate.
I am looking for any information about Owen's birth, baptism, parents or family in Ireland. With thanks.
