For your interest Denise, here is the birth registration for George McKenna.

He has only one given name.


MCKENNA George
Father William
Mother Margaret RAY
Birth Place EMER
Year 1871
Reg Number 16144

Material regarding the George Patrick McKENNA you have sighted on the public tree is readily available. However, he appears not relevant to your search.

Two other children of William and Margret McKENNA are listed on the death index in Vic.
Names James William and Agnes.  I will type the full entries if you wish, but I suspect you have them already.

Denise, there is no second name or initial on the registration.

sorry, just realised you are using upper case B to stand for  birth.
Usually it is lower case!

Dath of ADA

O'FLAHERTY Ada

Mother Margt Ann  RAY
Death Place S MELB
Age 75
Year 1943
Reg Number 11985


She was on the Electoral Roll from 1903 to 1943 in South Melbourne, but I do not see James with her.  There were five children to the marriage from 1891 to 1897. I can’t spot James after that.

Thank you Sue for locating Ada's death, the Electoral Roll dates and number of children to the marriage. I found an article in TROVE of which states a James O'Flaherty, formerly of Melbourne, plus Ada O'Flaherty name appears also. May or may not be relevant. Kind regards, Denise.

For those who would like to see the immigration record, this is the group arriving.
The original record notes they are British.

MCKENNA Child with (C) Date- DEC 1868. Ship BOMBAY.   F120   001
MCKENNA,Infant with (C)            
MCKENNA,Miss (A)            
MCKENNA,Mrs (A)            
MCKENNA, Sergt ( A)

As the ship arrived in 1868, the births before that cannot be confirmed through Australian records.
Don't know who Miss McKenna is. Listed as Adult.

I assume you have taken the list of children from the death certificate of one of the parents??

As I noted in Reply #11   you seem to have the death certificate of William McKENNA. Is it from this you have taken the children's names?

Was he married only once that being to Margaret?

Where did that marriage take place?
