I'm back again,
Here is what I have from the NSW pre 1856 films, volumes 1 to 123 we have in our local Family History Centre.
Dad John McCarthy was a carpenter as stated on some of the records (Roman Catholics they were).
****John MCARTY born 5 Oct 1845 baptised 9 November 1845, residence was Darling Downs. (he died 28 Oct 1911 in Qld).
****Clara MCARTY born 21 Jul 1847, baptised 1 Oct 1847, residence was Darling Downs.
****Patrick MCCARTHY born 10 Aug 1849, baptised 21 Aug 1849, residence was Yass.
****George (alias George Daniel) MCCARTY born 9 Jun 1851, baptised 10 Jun 1851, residence was Kilmore, registered in NSW. One of his sons, Daniel, married my great aunt Rosa Eliza nee CAMPENELLA (she was recorded on her birth certificate as this spelling of her maiden name, alias Theresa Elizabeth CAMPANELLA) and they had only 2 sons.
****Charles MCCARTHY born 23 Mar 1848, baptised 6 Apr 1848, residence was Wollongong.
Any others would be on the other films of which you all need to verify from the NSW BDM Registry office in Sydney.
****Thomas MCCARTHY born Kilmore Victoria registration number 6008, died in Qld 13 Oct 1890 registration number 001077, parents as John and Mary nee Quinn.
****Dad John.....nil birth/baptism found in NSW, Victoria or Qld may not have been registered, as a lot of people were never registered in the early years in all of the states.
Hope this helps some of you, and I never got to meet my great aunt Rosa or her hubby Daniel, he died in 1953, a year after I was born.
bye for now and happy hunting.
