Thomas Hallinan - Ireland to South Australia

[Bunnie]

Looking for information on my Great Grandfather Thomas Hallinan born 1836? County Clare, came to South Australia about 1852 - Married Ann Liddy also from County Clare, in Adelaide 1859 then moved to Mt. Moriac near Geelong in Victoria shortly after marriage, there were 5 children to this marriage, Ann Liddy died in 1869, Thomas re married Sabina Disken from County Galway in 1870, there were 6 children to this 2nd marriage, Thomas died in 1895 at Winchelsea, Victoria.

You seem to know most of it already.  What precisely are you after - names of children?  Ship they arrived in?

Hi, I have a Thomas HALLINAN bc 1821 Ennistymon, Co Clare d. 1899 Kerang, Vic who married Catherine KEATING bc1822 Inagh, Co Clare d. 1857 Eaglehawk, Vic aged 35(unsure yr marriage?) They had chn, John b 1848 Co Clare, Bridget Mary b 1851 Co Clare, Catherine, b Sydney, NSW, Michael b. 20 Sep 1856 Eaglehawk, (Bendigo) VIC.

I wonder if the 2 families are related??
My Thomas parents names Michael HALLINAN and Mary MALLOY ( I dont know anything about them though)
Thomas and Catherine HALLINAN arrived on the ship 'Sarah' in 1851 into Sydney and made their way to the Victorian goldfields. Thomas and son Michael settled in Kerang area of Victoria.

Its a shame SA shipping isnt as easy to search as NSW and Vic, I too have family on my husbands side who arrived in SA that Im struggling to find the arrival for...  Good luck and let me know if you find a connection between our families in future and I will do the same...
Kind Regards
