Hi again,

This would appear to be the extended Curran family who have come on the ship Montrose in 1864.  Maybe three brothers have emigrated together.


CURRAN Ann 28  and family Montrose 1864 2139, 2482 
CURRAN Bridget inft  and family Montrose 1864 2139, 2482

CURRAN Manus 24  and family Montrose 1864 2139, 2482 
CURRAN Margaret 23  and family Montrose 1864 2139, 2482 
CURRAN Mary 25  and husband Montrose 1864 2139, 2482 
CURRAN Michael 25  and family Montrose 1864 2139, 2482

Oh well found, Andcarred......

Lots of those names have been popping up in searches.......

Well Done Andcarred, and I agree with Dee, lots of those names 

That prompted me to find this thread as that voyage was from Meenedaddy, Bunbeg, Donegal, Ireland and arrived NSW  27 Mar 1864

I'll see what that leads to and will update this posting

EDIT
Thousands pages of transcripts of Irish records, contributed by volunteers.... Surname Curran found on several on Donegal pages........

I've just done a search of all the Currans listed on GR for being born in NSW.....there's a researcher listing Currans for Dubbo and another researcher listing Currans for Maitland.

But Catherine's name isn't listed, nor is Joseph James, or either of the possible siblings, so don't know that it is worth trying to contact.

Bit More,

I think Manus m Margaret, as they are the parents for 1869 birth Sydney NSW Ann Curran  (1805/1869)

Dee, I posted GR message for one of the other Fromelles missing, and consequently the GR member has contacted Tim and Sandra, and female descendants are being contacted,  and the GR member has become a new chatter on RC. 

Still searching,

JM, I've done the same with the Hungerford thread., but that was where the name of the young man was listed on someone's tree.

Hi
When I sent the GR messages it was to those listing the parents of the UK born lads, some had the lads there, some did not, but it worked.

There were many Curran families listed on that Irish website, too many, and with good Irish names like Patrick and Daniel.

Still searching.

Hi,

I have just noticed that the address given for  Mrs Mary Curran was not Coonamble Dubbo but something that looks like Cumambie Dubbo.   I would think this is the name of a property at Dubbo.  I can't vouch for the spelling as the print is very faded but it is certainly not Coonamble. 

Maybe this property belonged to another branch of the Curran family as there certainly are lots of them around Dubbo.

Hi Andcarred,

Ta, I will trawl through some of the 1903 polling places again to see if I can spot a likely farm name, and will edit this post with any results.

EDIT to post two snipped images  (have not found a likely farm name yet)
