Hi
Regarding Hugh Whelan, I was told many years ago that his wife was Bridget. I never found his marriage But after reading his OB I found that h is wife was Rachel Kierney. I found his marriage in 1877 with the BDM now on line. They never had any children.
Also in his OB was were they lived: The Seven-Stan Hotel in Aneas Street,Hnsine (abb.) This seemed strange?
By the way the 2 daughters went to New Zealand to live, Mary Ann married Austin O'Loughlin November 1858 in Kapunda had a son John in Turo, another son Martin in Ballarat, Vic. the third son Thomas was born in Dunedin, New Zealand.
