 Hi Malbec

                          Kind regards Chatso58

Hi Chatso58,

Did you know there were 2 Bridget Floods on the Elphinstone that arrived Oct 1840? 

Yours is listed in image 2 here http://srwww.records.nsw.gov.au/ebook/list.asp?series=NRS5316&item=4_4787&ship=Elphinstone whilst the Bridget Flood that Wrigbe and I are descended from is listed in image 7 (fourth from the bottom).

Our Bridget married either George or Joseph Whittaker and is buried with one or other of them (it's VERY complicated!) in the Armidale cemetery.

So unfortunately I can't be of any help.

Cheers, and good luck in your search.

Hi Bec
do you think there is a chance that your Bridget could be my James sister                              Rob

Hi all,

I'm researching the bushranger John Vane who rode with the Ben Hall gang in 1863. The gang haunted districts around Carcoar during this period.

Parish maps show someone named Flood had a couple of blocks around Carcoar.

In this article there is a reference made to 'Flood's Mount'. The gang had recently held up a mail coach near Blayney and so it would most likely be around Blayney or Carcoar.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Craig

Hi Robyn,

All I know about Bridget prior to coming to Australia is that she was born in Monasterevin (written as Munstrevin on her death certificate) in Kildare, Ireland sometime between 1814 and about 1825.  Her parents were Mary and Thomas but both were deceased when she came to Australia.  I have no idea about any siblings...sorry. 

Craig, I am unable to help either as my Flood relative is from the Hunter/New England region.

Cheers,

Bec

Hi Bec,
          I`m researching my own side of the Flood family from Monasterevin at the moment and came across your post.I`m actually from Monasterevin and can confirm that Derryoughter is actually a part of Kildangan which falls within the parish of Monasterevin so the likeyhood is that record is the one your looking for.I haven`t been able to trace back as far as you yet as there are a few seperate familys of Floods in the area.If you need any more info on the area don`t fail to contact me.

Hi All,
I have just come across your discussions about Bridget Flood.  I am looking for information about a Sarah Flood.  She married James Shepherd in 1871 and had 2 children prior to this marriage Sarah Anne Flood and Eliza Flood.  According to Eliza's birth certificate she was 26 years old (born about 1843?), could not read or write and lived in Kangaloola Binda.  I don't know when or where she was born but my hunch is her family would be around the Crookwell area and alter she had more children in Carcoar.  Can anyone help with any information about a Flood family in that area?
Regards
