TULLY catherine Galway 1850

[Emjaybee]

Anyone know of Catherine Tully who emigrated to Western Australia in the 1850's, she may have married Joseph Watkins in York, W.A.

I have been researching the single Irish girls who came to Western Australia in 1853 on the "Palestine" (as my great, great grandmother was on that ship) and there were two Tully girls on that ship, Bridget and Catherine. Both girls married in Western Australia and had children. Bridget married Samuel Willis in York in 1856 (I haven't yet, but could look up whether they had children if you like). SHe died in 1907.
Catherine married Joseph Watkins in York and I have found records of three daughters, MaryAnn, Harriet and Ellen, but there may be more children.
I have found that many of the girls on the "Palestine" were from Galway. Were the Tully sisters from Galway? If so, do you have any further information of where they came from and how they came to eimgrate to Australia (ie from a workhouse or other institution)?
Please let me know if you are additional information and I will see if I can access it for you.
Many thanks,
Anne

Hello,

Joseph Watkins was my many times great Grandfather. he was transported to W.A. for stealing sheep in Uk in 1851. he left behind a wife and daughter. Harriet his wife later married my Gt Gt Grandfather Thomas Scrivens. We don't know if Joseph and Harriet were divorced but she remarried twice in fact.

I was told by a reli in Aus that Catherine Tully left Ireland after the famine. Catherine is my interest, as we are not sure if he ever married her. He later declared himself as a bachelor when he married again!

Mike
Thanks for your interest

 Hi Sue

I did have a look at that marriage but ruled it out as a different Catherine because of the age.This is the death of her husband so i don't think that the age is wrong.She just seems to disappear into thin air.
