Hayes of Carrigatoher Tipperary

[stonepegger]

Hi Gerry, We had a Hayes family in my part of Vermont from the neighboring townland pf Ballywilliam, came out here in the 1850s. A lot more folks came from just west around the parish of Castletownarra slate quarry region. That parish sent many many people to Vermont and Australia.

I looked at the RC parish records for Carrigatoher (Burgess & Youghal)and found the following baptismal records for the children of John Hayes and Bridget Quigley.
27 Mar 1829 Thomas - Sponsors Jam(s) Grady Judith Quigley
29 Apr 1831 Matthew - Sprs Jno Lacy Mary Brien
26 Aug 1839 Catherine - Sprs Patk Kenna Honora Kenna
15 May 1844 Mary - Sprs Jas Lacey Mary Hogan.
I searched to end Dec 1859 but did not find Michael Margaret Edward or Bridget. Are you sure this is the correct family?

annclare,

Thanks very much for researching the RC parish records and finding the baptism information, I would have responded earlier but I have just arrived in Brisbane after a 2000 km road trip from Cairns in north Queensland but I did manage to detour slightly to check out some family member grave sites including that of Adam Edward Young the son of Catherine Hayes whom had married Adam Young in 1862.   Adam Edward Young was born on the Victorian gold fields at Smythesdale then later chased the gold at ChartersTowers in north Queensland and died at 37 in 1902.  He was my Great Grand Father and I was pleased to see that his grave was in good condition.

The latest information that I was given on the Hayes has the children to John Hayes & Bridget Quigley as follows.

Mary Hayes B: 1825
Edward Hayes B: 1827 & came to Victoria Australia.
Thomas Hayes B: 1829 and went to the USA.
Matthew Hayes B: 1831 and came to Victoria Australia.
Michael Hayes B:1835 and came to Victoria Australia.
Bridget Hayes B: 1837
Catherine Hayes B: 1839 and came to Victoria Australia.
Judith Hayes B: 1841
Margaret Hayes B: 1844 and came to Victoria Australia.

It looks like it could be the the correct family because for Thomas, Matthew & Catherine the year births match my information but I didn't have dates, the 1844 baptism has Mary and my information is for a Margaret Hayes which is different.

Thanks again, it's a real help.

Peter,

Thanks for the information, the Irish migration to Australia was substantial, by 1891 Australia had a population of about 3 million and about 228,000 were Ireland born persons, also between 1791 and 1867 40,000 Irish convicts were transported to Australia, we have a great Irish heritage in Australia.   

I understand that Thomas Hayes from John Hayes & Bridget Quigley children went the the US somewhere and 5 others children came to the Victorian Gold Fields including my GGGM Catherine Hayes, I have only recently started to research my Irish Roots and learning about townlands, civil parishes, RC parishes, counties, baronies etc, its part of the fun of genealogy,  I like having an Irish family connection.

Regards
Gerry

stonepegger,

Thanks for the two posts.

It is highly likely that there is a connection between Cornelius Hayes and my Hayes family, they are from the same locality.

I'll see if I can find the baptism church for Cornelius Hayes in 1824, hence his parents.

The Thomas Hayes from my Hayes family was married and had a number of children when he migrated to the USA.

Hi Gerry,
I have just found your correspondence with anneclare regarding John Hayes & Bridget Quigley. 

I am particularly interested in Matthew Hayes born 1831 as he is my Great Grandfather.  I see that you state he emigrated to Victoria Australia.  I would be grateful if you could provide me with any details e.g. date of emigration, port of departure and port of arrival.  Also do you know if he was married and if so the name of his wife?

Many thanks.

Bernie 46,

Nice to hear from you.

The Matthew Hayes that I have was born to John Hayes & Bridget Quigley and was baptised 29th April 1831 at Carrigatoher (Burgess & Youghal), he came to Victoria Australia probably around 1860 but I don't know the exact year as yet.

Matthew Hayes married Catherine Bourke on 20th February 1865 at Ballarat in Victoria and went on to have 10 children.

I haven't done a lot of research on Matthew Hayes as I have concentrated on Catherine Hayes my GGGM.

Regards
Gerry
