MULDOON Family Drum Killah County Cavan Ireland

[majicmiss]

Hi
Where did you find her parents names please?

When did JOHN HOAD die and did  ELIZABETH die under the name HOAD?

Sue

Hi Sue I got her parents names from family members. John Hoad died in 1878 in Carcoar and Elizabeth died in 1898 in Marrangulla NSW.

Any ideas on where I go now to find her family?? LOL 
 
 
 

I think you would need to go to the Irish board of Rchat to locate information about her parents etc.

Before posting on Cavan board- have a look at Introduction to Irish Records and My Ancestor came from Ireland - where do I start?.

Elizabeth Bridget MULDOON (aka Bridget MULDOON aka Bridget MULDOWN aka Bridget MOLDOON)

Bridget arrived in Sydney on 29th April 1850 aboard the John Knox; she was one of 4412 Irish orphans who arrived in Australia between 1848 - 1850 under the "Earl Grey Irish Orphans Famine Scheme".

Bridget was born in Drumkillah, County Cavan in 1835, her parents were Patrick MULDOON and Elizabeth (Betty) UNKNOWN.

Bridget's details are listed on the John Knox passenger manifest as follows:
Name: MULDOWN Bridget
Age: 15
Occupation: Houseservant
Native Place and County: Drumkillah, Cavan
Religion: Church of Rome
Read or Write: Neither

Bridget married John HOAD in Carcoar in 1852 (the groom's surname was misspelled as HOOD and the bride's surname misspelled as MOLDOON in the NSW Marriage Index).

Sources:
NSW/State Records/Index of Immigration and Shipping Records - John Knox 1850.
NSW/State Records/Index of Marriages - NSW BDM V18521531 3C/1852.
www.irishfaminememorial.org

Some information has been proposed that her surname was McKENZIE, however, there is no information available to support this.  It is possible that McKENZIE was the surname of the family in Australia she was indentured to as a house-servant prior to her marriage to John  Hoad in 1852.

Welcome hero12b 

That's a grand bit of research you are sharing there. 

May I add to the info re the 1852 marriage   

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XTCK-147   this gives the date as 27 Jan 1852 and is based on the transcript of the Church of England's parish register, most likely currently located at the C of E archives at Bathurst.   

The NSW BDM reference is V1852571 38C/1852 which is slightly different from

NSW/State Records/Index of Marriages - NSW BDM V18521531 3C/1852.

Cheers,  JM

Thanks for the information but I'm not sure we have the same person, Elizabeth Bridget didn't marry a John Thomas Ingram 15 Aug 1853, she did marry a John Hoad though. Back to the drawing board for me then.


    Surname : Muldown (Mildown, Muldoon)
    First Name : Bridget
    Age on arrival : 15
    Native Place : Drumkillan [Drumkilly], Cavan
    Parents : Patrick & Betty (both dead)
    Religion : Roman Catholic
    Ship name : John Knox (Sydney Apr 1850)
    Workhouse : Cavan, Cavan
    Other : Shipping: houseservant, cannot read or write, no relations in colony. Im.Cor 51/117 as Muldoon, indentures returned, 25 Mar 1851, apprenticed in Bathurst district; married John Thomas Ingram 15 Aug 1853; 15 children; died 1925 S-W Qld; many descendants on Ancestry.

Sorry - I'm a bit confused.  (In this post 'm using the names as shown on the documents or indexes, but it seems that this would be the same person)

There is this marriage:

NSW 571/1852 V1852571 38C   
John HOOD, Bridget MOLDOON,
Church code: NR (NR= Church of England, Carcoar)

and this one:

NSW 423/1853 V1853423 99   
John INGRAM, Bridget MULDOON   
Church code: LK (LK= Roman Catholic at Maitland.

So, my understanding is that you have the marriage certificate for the HOOD marriage in 1852 and that the bride's parents' names match the immigration entry below? 

Where did you find the information in your last post?  I'm wondering who compiled the info as it is possible that their information has been attached to the wrong Bridget.

The only Bridget MULDOWN that I can see on the John Knox is the one whose information you have given below:
Bridget Muldoon, born 1835 in Drum Killah County Cavan, her parents are listed as Patrick Muldoon and Betty M.
(There are 2 entries on the immigration entry on the Ancestry index one which gives the birthplace as Cork but when you look at the actual image it is the Cavan address.)

I see now that the information is from the Irish Famine Orphan Girl Database.  A lot depends on the parent names shown on the marriage certificate. 

http://www.irishfaminememorial.org/orphans/database/?surName=muldown&firstName=bridget&age=0&nativePlace=cavan&parents=&religion=0&ship=18

The public trees give the origin of the Bridget who married John INGRAM as being Enniskillen Northern Ireland and one gives her parents as Thomas MULDOON and Jane CAMPBELL.  None of these trees give a proper reference for their information.

Does the marriage certificate have names of witnesses?

Hi I do have a copy of the marriage certificate but no witnesses are listed which is odd. Thanks for all your searching
