Hi There,
Do you know the names of your relatives who may be connected to Eganstown? If you can tell me the names, I may be able to give you some clues.
To date I have only come across the following information from the Eganstown area related to those names and Templederry.
Michael O'Brien married Mary Kennedy in Coventry England in 1852. They were from Borrisoleigh and likely to be working in England at the time. Mary was from Templederry. She may have been born in 1827 and John in 1830. A daughter may have been born at Daisy Hill, a gold mining small town near Ballarat in 1854. The couple may have come to Australia on the David McIver ship in 1853 into Sydney.
A John Harrington from Lley(Borrisoleight) married Mary Doyle from Tipperary 25/1/1863 at Creswick, near Eganstown. Johns parents were Phillip Harrington and Catherine Ryan. John may have been a miner. Mary's parents were Thomas Doyle and Bridget Shea.
Edmond Harrington married Honorah Ryan on the 9/11/1867 in Creswick.
Cheers
Rosemary
