Carol, have you seen this webpage?

FROM: Colleen Willis

Does anyone have any information on Ellen Green and Patrick Flood, who stated they married at Gundaroo c 1850 ?
They had about 11 children. Hannah (Anna) b. c. 1856 Yass, Jane 1857,Ellen 1859,Elizabeth 1862, Thomas b. 1863 (the first reg,) Allen,1865 Henry (Harry) 1870, Eliza 1875 Mary Agnes (Maggie) 1877 Simon (Samuel) 1880. Hannah was my great grandmother.
Ellen was said to be born Gundaroo, however the only baptism of a "Green" who suits is Helen Green. b. 13 July 1840 parents Thomas Green (settler) and Ann. Patrick Flood and Ellen (Green) were at Billabong Creek, Bethungra in the 1870's.
Patrick Flood was born Dublin Ireland c. 1817 and died Bethungra 30 November, 1887 and Ellen (Green) Flood died Cootamundra 9 October 1914.

I would appreciate any information on Patrick and Ellen and descendants.
Colleen.

Coincidentally, Gundaroo is only about a 20 minute drive away from where I live

Hi,

Yes I know about the person mentioned. I've been to Gundaroo and surrounds but can't seem to find anything new on Patrick.

thanks

Hi Carol 

Patrick's death certificate may have useful information on it.  If the informant on the certificate was aware of it, info such as parents, birthplace and how long in the colony could be recorded.  Worth a try anyway.

Other places to look are immigration records.  There are some online indexes for NSW here:

Victoria:

Bounty scheme index:

Are you sure he wasn't a convict? Good luck with your search 

Hi,

I have his death certificate and it does not assist with my enquiries.  Thanks for asking about it.

Hi Carol,

Probably the only thing left to do is to search all the indexes you can find for his immigration.  I posted some links above which will be useful for this, but there might be indexes not yet available online that it would be worth looking at.  I had a quick look at the NSW Assisted Immigrants indexes, and there were several Patrick FLOODs there, but no way of knowing if any were yours (apart from the dates I suppose).

If you have not already done so, it might be worth contacting:

Rather a long shot, but I am interested in the name Flood in Dublin.  My ancestor Joseph Brooks, weaver of Coventry b Dublin c.1795 (parents Richard & Eleanor) had a first marriage with Mary Ann Flood c.1820 (possibly Dublin). She died of Asiatic cholera in Coventry 19 Sept 1849.  I am wondering whether she had a brother Patrick as the time schedule seems very close.  If I do find any link in my researches I will certainly let you know.

Hello again
I don't know whether this can be a contact for your Patrick Flood but I recently received a reply to my email to the Local History Dept of Dublin Library.  I asked for entries for the name (and also Brooks) from "Weavers and Related Trades Dublin 1826"

They give a Patrick Flood, Silk weaver, New Market, Durblin.  5 in family.  Unfortunately no age is given but could he have a son Patrick and I need to know did he have a daughter, Mary Ann.  There are other Floods living in Coombe, a weaving area, in Dublin. A Christopher (aged 32) and Charles. (no age given).   These people received benefit when the weaving industry collapsed in Dublin in the 1820's.
Best wishes

Hello,


I have checked on the Public Records Unassisted Shipping list for Victoria and a Patrick Flood aged 24 arrived in Victoria in 1860 on the ship the Hope.

You may have checked this list and he may not be related, but thought I would send anyway.

Regards Sue

Thanks Corcoran

It seems Patrick Flood is a pretty common name and I have insufficient information to be able to take this line any further at this stage. I'm studying full-time and my family research has been put on hold for now.

One of my lines starts with Patrick Flood born 1797 Baldoyle, Dublin.  He become a coastguard officer in 1822 and spent most of his career in the service at various stations around England.  I only have information about his direct descendants. Coincidentally  there is an Anne Green in my line too.
