Emigrants to South Australia from Estate of Montagu Chapman Castle Killua

[Con1847lon]

Hi Sue
My relatives Patrick Conlon & Mary Conlon were also on Trafalgar. i think the article you read on trove was regarding Mary's marriage.
I am still looking for more on Sir Montague Chapman, but so far i know that he died on a shipwreck in May 1852.
I found quite a bit of useful family information on the nli site under Clonmellon catholic parish registers

Hi Joan
Thanks for the message. Yes it was that article on Trove that led me to the conclusion that my husband's 3X great grandparents Mary GARRIGAN and William PLUNKETT were both from Sir Montague Chapman's estate at Clonmellon and they probably knew each other before they married in Adelaide July 1849.

I have done a lot more work since the early days and it seems that at least 3 brothers of Mary-- Myles, Peter and Patrick also came out to South Australia. At least Myles worked along with William on Sir Montague's estates at Para Plains and the Dry Creek area.

Regards
Sue
