Limerick / Re: Help please - Noonan

For Clair.
The IFHF website lists about  5 Ellen Noonan births  recorded in Co Limerick from 1817-1821.
It is a pay per view site and costs 5 pound per person... this is the site I used to find my ancestor Catherine Noonan....

There is one there for Ellen for 1821 and one for 1820. I would give them a go first..

Limerick / Re: Help please - Noonan

Hi , I was just reading you post on the Noonan ancestors.

I have an Edward Noonan who was also a convict and sent to Australia in 1835 aboard "HIVE" which was shipwrecked on the East Coast of Australia. Edward was Aged 30 yrs.
The date of his trial was 8 April 1835 at Limerick and he was sentanced to LIFE. He received a ticket of leave 9 Feb. 1844 and was allowed to remain in the District of Illawarra. (South Coast of NSW,  Australia)

He was married abt. 1830 to a Julia Lane from Ballyagran , Co Limerick. They had a son John Noonan born 1831.

 His daughter, Catherine Noonan was Baptised 1834 at Parish/District FEENAGH & KILMEEDY. Edward was also known as Edmund on the baptism records. Other records we have found  have his name spelt as NUNAN & MOOHAN. (Just to confuse us).

Julia, John and Catherine Noonan came to Australia in 1849 on the "Panama" and settled in the Shoalhaven, Gerringong area of NSW. Edward died in 1866.  Edward was known as Edward Nunan on his death certificate and Julia as Julia Noonan on her death certificate in 1892 when she was buried at Berry, NSW.


Edwards father was John Noonan and we have found on the Griffith Valuations of Ireland, which would have been done around 1846-1861, the following Noonan's. We are thinking the John Noonan or Gortalassa may have been his father as the property is only 10 minutes away from where Julia was from at Ballyagran.

Noonan          John              Gortalassa                        Kilmeedy     Limerick
Noonan          Mary              Feenagh                           Kilmeedy     Limerick
Noonan          Mary              Kilmurry (Archer)                 Kilmeedy     Limerick
Noonan          Patrick           Highmount                         Kilmeedy     Limerick

If anyone has any links or more information for me I would be greatfull.. We are trying to find the Marriage certificate for Julia and Edmund Noonan in 1829/1830/1831 in Ireland and maybe other brothers and sisters that Edward may have had..

Ok, I have a Sarah Leadbitter listed as her sister but I didnt have any other information on her. So the Sarah Dennett at Orange is definately a possibility. I have looked up her Death on the NSW BDM and it has her fathers name as William.  All my records for  Elizabeth has her fathers name as Thomas Leadbitter. Both Elizabeth and Sarah both have the mothers name as Nancy so I am a bit confused by the two fathers names being different.
Hoping you may have so explanation.

Do you know if there was a person with the surname  Dennett, as Elizabeth  Leadbitter was suppose to have had a sister named Mrs Dennett living at Goulburn when she came to Australia in 1858.
As yet we cant find the Mrs Dennett...

Now I am wondering where you fit in also...

I am a descendant of Elizabeth Leadbitter who had a son in Australia  named James Adelong Leadbitter. He married a widow Sarah Jane Lee and they had a son George Frederick Leadbitter in 1888.

Spelling is a problem.

Elizabeth came to Australia aboard "Steebonheath" in 1858. Travelling with her Nephew William Leadbitter and her Niece Alice Leadbitter.
Elizabeth was 33,  a housekeeper  with her native place as Greenwich, Kent.  Her mother was living at Plumbstead Kent in 1857.
Elizabeths Death certificate names Thomas Leadbitter, a bank clerk , as her father and Nancy Yeates as her mother... Details were given by her Son, James Adelong Leadbitter.

I have a bit of information on this family and would love to swap information with you. Amy Leadbitter , his daughter, went to Australia. Henry born 1811, had a sister named Elizabeth born about 1823. She also went to Australia.
I know that Henry had died prior to 1864 as he was dead when Amy married her husband Andrew Houliston in Sydney. A newpaper clipping describes the Late Henry Leadbitter of London.
Maria was Maria Thurston Wheeler born 21 June 1812 at St marlebone Rd, London. Her parents were John Wheeler and Harriett Miller. John was born 1779. They were married 1806. Chittern All Saints Wiltshire. (as far as I know from snippets that I have found over the years)
