Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: How reliable are other peoples trees

I totally agree with danuslave...

I have found many trees on ancestry that have my GGGGreat Grandparents as remarrying (which they never did) One tree even has them dying in Canada when i have their Death certificates and Grave receipt for Melbourne General Cemetery in Victoria, Australia!

Just use it as a guide.... and make sure you see documentation to prove these, as in certificates.

Cheers & Happy Researching

Hi warrawillah,

I was curious as you have the name Ryan, this name comes up a lot in this Slattery family. I am unsure of it's connection.

Julia O'Malley (Slattery) was from Limerick but i cannot work out the parish she was from... i have attached the picture i have put many places but no one can seem to tell me where this is in Limerick.

Hi tropicalj,

I'm trying, but keep meeting dead ends... as with this family. It can be difficult because i am a person that has to see proof not just assume certain things. I have all the births death and marriages that i have been able to find and obtain. I like to be sure on a person.
There last child was born in 1853. Jeremiah and Honorah had Patrick 1842 in Sydney, Catherine Johanna 1848 in Tungamah Victoria, John 1849 in Tungamah Victoria and Ellen Agnes 1853 in Flemington Victoria.
Could he possibly have just left her and went and married someone else as i find a marriage of a Jeremiah Reardon in NSW around this time.

I cannot find a death of Jeremiah Reardon so am unsure where he was from or his parents names. It was before August 1880 as that's when Honorah died in Melbourne as a widow. Her death cert states about 10yrs New South Wales and thirty years in Victoria, but going by Childrens births she was only in nsw for 6 yrs. The parents names aren't on NSW marriage certificates back in the 1840's, they actually have limited information. Mary and Honorah do both have the same witnesses though, John Maguire and Jeremiah O'Brien, they were both married in St Mary's Sydney.

Her parents names were James Slattery and Julia O'Malley, i know this is correct as it's the same on Mary and Michaels death certificates also. All three siblings are buried together and with their spouses in the Melbourne General Cemetery
I haven't been able to find the other two sisters Ellen and Catherine after their arrival.

Also out of curiosity, is it common for large gaps between children of convicts? They married in 1841, had a child at the start of 1842, but then not another child until in Victoria in 1848? Followed by three more with two year gaps between.

Their death certs should also say where they were married and how many other children they had? If they had other children with them on voyage it eliminates others by the same name.

Ahhh ok i kind of thought it would be something like that...

So they were free settlers... i knew they weren't convicts or anything like that but would they have been locked into an employment contract? As one of the sisters Honorah married a convict only a month after arriving named Jeremiah Reardon.

Their names are Michael, Ellen, Catherine, Honorah and Mary Slattery (Slatterie) and they arrived aboard the Portland in March 1841. I am unsure of any other Siblings back home as i have not been able to trace them in Ireland. Finding this family very difficult.

Thanks
