THomas Patrick HENNESSY and Margaret HENNESSY nee Renehan

[tropicalj]

Yes Cando, a very good result

Had a very  kind RCER  pm  me with details of  Margaret A Hennessy's will.  She left  it all  to one son,  mmmn  wonder if that caused a few arguements.

Also  another pm with  births  to 1918

A  couple  were  changed in the 1930  to reflect  the fathers details as  they were  just in  the mothers name in several cases.  We do often see  that though.

Margaret and Thomas P had  the following children
23122/1888 HENNESSY DENIS at COOTAMUNDRA died 1923
Denis 8/9/1923 35 yrs

11357/1890 HENNESSY THOMAS Patrick  at COROWA died 1954

11778/1892 HENNESSY FRANCIS Sylvester  at  COROWA died 1976

2805/1895   HENNESSY RUBY Agnes  at COOTAMUNDRA

Married Michael Joseph RYAN  Ruby died at Albury 16/9/1969
Michael died 23/11/1961

1658/1897 HENNESSY ROSE A at COOTAMUNDRA died 1897

20626/1898 HENNESSY VINCENT Joseph  at COOTAMUNDRA died 27/9/1959 61 yrs

12106/1901 HENNESSY MICHAEL Leonard  at COOTAMUNDRA  23/11/1946 45 yrs

2752/1906   HENNESSY PATRICK Benedict  at COOTAMUNDRA died 1971

34919/1908 HENNESSY MARY E at  COOTAMUNDRA died 1908

14095/1910 HENNESSY LEO Clement at COOTAMUNDRA died 1976
Gunner Leo C (Ike) 18/9/1976***

Still  looking  for children  but  doesn't seem  to likey as a couple didn't marry and  others  later in life.

Many  thanks to Judb for obtaining obituaries for many of  these Hennessy folk

looks like Vincent Joseph was the only son to have had children. (so far )  Leo Denis Hennessy  and Ruby Fay Hennessy both now deceased.

Ruby Agnes Ryan nee Hennessy  appears to have had a couple or more children  though, still on  the hunt for  them,


A number of  the sons just dropped dead!!!!

Francis Sylvester Hennessy  was  the only  child to be mentioned in  her will !!

Hi Jenn,
I really hope you see this! I know this message was started in 09 but I've just seen it now while trying to do a family search.

My Grandfather is Leo Denis Hennessy (He passed away, 7 jan 1983, before I was born but * is still alive today.) And that's about all I know when it comes to my family history sadly.
Can I as what your relation to the family is? Or why you were searching them?
Also whether you could pass the info, photos, etc, you found onto me, it would mean a lot!
 
Cheers, R.

Thank you so much Jenn, your search has been really helpful!
That's very cool. My father (Leo's first son) does not talk about his parents and beyond it's a bit weird to know I have distant cousins around Aust.

I don't think Hennessy men have the best reputation ha.
(If you have any other relevant photo's that you wouldn't mind putting on here would be great )

Do  the family still  live in  the Cootamundra/Temora area?

that is the only  Hennessy  family photo  I  have

I can tell you  that in 1980  Leo Dennis  lived at 77  Temora Street and his sister and husband lived at 81   Temora Street

do you have any  Hennessy photos?


Jenn

[rh445058]

Some of them do yes, but others are scattered.
I know * Hennessy still lives there with her imediate family.

I have one photo album that has a few photo's of Leo and Frances and the children but that's all.
I cannot find any records of Frances Dorothy Pinto, I know she is ment to be a Portugese orphan from Finely, I'd love to find out her backgroud at some point.

Thankyou again!
Ruby

I also noted with  interest  this  marriage  record is only 2 apart from  Leo and Frances

So  I wondered  a double wedding perhaps 

reg no 29036/1961 
groom PINTO  MICHAEL CHARLES 
bride BONE  PAMELA DOROTHY
district  JERILDERIE

will  investigate  this  further

He shows on electoral rolls  living in  Shepparton  Victoria

Hi,
I couldn't help but notice the Thomas Patrick Hennessy conversation.  My Mum was adopted (sort of) by Thomas Patrick Hennessy and his wife Sarah Jane French after her mother died when she was born. Mum's father (Harry Norman French) was Sarah Jane's brother.  I called him Poppa Hennessy and he was the only grandfather I knew of for a very long time.  Unfortunately, he died when I was only four and is buried at Botany Cemetery in Sydney. Uncle Frank (Francis Sylvester) was still living in Temora Road well after I was married and I visited him there quite a few times.  I knew him much better than the other surviving brothers and he was a lovely man. From memory, he died in about 1976.
