Hello Richard

I am wondering if you have any information on Mary Sadleir (Sadlier) born Abt 1818, married Micheal Breen Abt 1839, baptism records for their children show them living in Glenough Tipperary.  Mary and Michael, along with their family,  came to Tasmania, Australia in 1853.  Any information you may have on Mary or her family would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Patricia,
I regret that I cannot help you with your enquiry about Mary. I have looked through all my family records,and checked the Sadleir entry in
Burkes Irish Family Records( 1976) with no success. I have a number of Marys recorded but none fit the dates.
I also have no family records connecting to Glenough.
Although I suspect the family came from only two sources in the  16th Century they were originally Protestant but some branches became Roman Catholic along the way. As was unfortunately common in Ireland this meant that they completely separated from each other. Almost all my records and sources are Protestant and it it is highly probable that your Mary was RC.
There must have been a huge exodus from Ireland in the early 1850's due to the famine. My great-grandfather and two of his brothers came out to Australia in 1852, One of which also went to Tasmania. A cousin of his was already in Tasmania.

I wish you success with your further searches

Hello Patricia,

I am related to the Sadliers in Glenough and I am in the process of tracing my family history. I have a Mary born in May 5 1855. Her Parents were Patrick Sadlier and Ellen Quirke. She was baptised in CLONOULTY/ROSSMORE Parish. I do not have any other Mary's, but the name Breen rings a bell. If I find anything in my searches I will pass it on to you.

Kind Regards

Richard

Hi Richard,

Do you have the descendants of the 7th child of Clement Sadlier and Grace Chadwick "Richard". I know he had a Son Clement who had a Son Richard who married in 1783 in Scalaheen. If you could expand on the children of "Richard", "Clement" and "Richard" it will probably fill in my missing link.

Kind regards,

Richard Sadlier

Mary Sadleir 1818-1886 was my gg grandmother.

Michael Breen 1805-1869 and Mary married in Clonoulty Parish in 1840. Later, they settled in Westbury, Tasmania.

Cousin Martin Breen and Honora and their four children arrived in Tasmania on board 'Great Tasmania' on 27 Jan 1857. They settled in Westbury as well.

Michael and Mary's daughter Margaret (b.1853) married Martin and Honora's son Patrick (b.1846) in 1870. Patrick used to sing a ditty about being an Upperchurch man. I think that's in the Sadleir area of Tipperary.

Margaret and Patrick had thirteen children. Some children died in infancy. Their youngest child was my grandmother. She attributed her charmed life to being the 13th child of Maggie a 13th child. Maybe the double dose of Breen and the luck of the Sadleirs helped as well.

Thanks for your reply re Breens/Sadliers.  My husband is also from Margaret and Patrick's line.  I have 15 children from this family (as you mention, some died in infancy), and thought my husband's grandfather was the youngest of the family (1893) if there is a younger sibling would love to hear about her.
