HENNIGAN family
« on: Friday 29 February 08 10:48 GMT (UK) »
My greatgrandparents Julia and Pat Henigan arrived in Victoria on Champion of Seas in 1859 from County Kerry Ireland.  They had a daughter Mary born 20 October 1860 in Melbourne.  They also had 2 other daughters Catherine born about 1866 and Julia Agnes born about 1868. Patrick was a goldminer and later came to New Zealand, Katherine and Julia's death certificates say they were born in NZ but there is no record of this and we think they may have been born in Australia could anyone please help with a look up?
Many thanks

Thank you for that is it possible that a birth may not have been registered and if so could it be found in church records, they were catholics.

This is the only birth to this couple I can find in Aus.  Rather difficult to check parish records unless you know where in Victoria they were living.

HENIGAN Mary
Father Patrick  Mother Julia HORIGAN
At Melbourne  1860  Reg#18230

I can't see them leaving Victoria for NZ.

Have you checked the passenger arrivals in NZ?

Did Catherine and Julia marry?.

Does NZ marriage certificate include place of birth?

Is this your Catherine...?

1888/400 Kate Henigan m. William John Barris.

Who are the informants on the two death certificates for Catherine and Julia?

Are they close family who might be expected to know them well?

The Kate Hennigan who married William Barris is the Kate that we were looking for in australian records.  Death certificates say they were born in Charleston NZ however not registered or in Catholic hurch records for them.  Think parents came to NZ about 1872/74 but have not located a passenger list with them on it unless they left from a different port.
Thanks for the help
