Geraghty, Farrelly, Sheridan from Ballinagh

[Cate]

My great great grandfather Miles Geraghty b.1857 and his brother Patrick b.1844 from Ballinagh, Cavan migrated to South Australia in about 1879.

Their parents were John and Bridgid Geraghty (nee Farrelly)

Family oral history says that John was the son of Phillip and Anne Geraghty (nee Sheridan)

Any information about these families would be truly appreciated. I have copies of the marriage details for John and Bridgid Geraghty and the baptism details for their children.

I'm from Australia and I'm at a loss as to where to search. 

Many thanks

Welcome to Rootschat, kay bird.

Cate- the PM (personal message) system doesn't work until you make a few posts (anti-spam measure) so kay bird will have to make a few moreposts before using pm system,

[Cate]

Thanks aghadowey - I hadn't realised that about the PM's.

Kay - which child of Miles Geraghty is your friend Pat descended from? I am in touch with another descendant of Miles Geraghty who has done quite a lot of work on the Geraghty family tree. If you answer me a few times on here you wil be able to get PMs and I can give you some email addresses.
Regards,
Cate

Hello again Kay
Glad I could point Pat in the right direction. Sorry - neither Ann nor I have been able to find shipping records for Miles. We think he came out here late 1870's or early  80's.

Best regards
Cate
