Patrick HEFFERNAN

[majm]

Here is the post re Ada and Patrick's marriage.

JM

A marriage registered DUBBO in 1882 and indexed at NSW BDM  (index prepared by volunteers reading under natural light in the 1930s, reading longhand script from the summary documents sent through to NSW BDM in 1882)

Patrick KEENEHAN and Ada KEITH.   #3688.

I would not rush out and purchase the NSW BDM real deal cert.  If this were likely to be my family I would spend some pennies and seek out the official transcription of that 1882 record.   Likely it will not have been reconciled by NSW BDM, but it will have the details of the location and denomination and other info that can be followed up.

Here's a thread that may help with the likely blanks on a NSW BDM marriage cert from the 1880s.  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,546609.0.html

Cheers,  JM

Hi brennan1239,
  Welcome to rootschat 

   dog_foster_carer will have been notified of your post and will probably be along shortly.   I'm sure she will be happy to be in contact with you so that you can both share information.

Julie, (the person who started this thread back in 2014) has not been online since mid March 2018, so perhaps she has turned off all notifications.  Looking back at her posts, it could be that Ros may have contact details for her as Julie was seeking some look ups at NSW State Archives, at that time.

And of course, brennan1239 has now posted 3 times, so she can send Private Messages too.

Julie's opening post did note that she had found 'the ancestry for his wife Ada Selmes but ... complete standstill regarding Patrick Heffernan'...   

I have a great deal of local history for much of NSW, particularly from the Blue Mountains to the Western Division (South Australian Border).

The NSW BDM index for Patrick's  possible 1928 death includes the mention of Carlisle which I recognise as a name for a Creek in the Condobolin district of NSW.   If you are still seeking information, please let me know and I will look through my offline resources to add further to this thread.   (Of course, It may be a different Patrick Heffernan who died in May 1928 and death registered Condobolin)

Good to see that Julie has been back online now, so hopefully our new RChatter and Julie have exchanged PMs.

Thanks JM
I have been in touch with brennan1239 and I'm sure we will be comparing notes
 
I have found all the details regarding Patrick Heffernan and have found a whole new branch of the family, from Patricks first marriage/relationship that we never knew about.

You are correct, the 1928 death record is of this Patrick, but it took seeing his probate record thanks to Ros that confirmed it.

Hopefully brennan1239 and I will exchange some Heffernan family information. 

Thanks for your help
Regards
Julie

Excellent news.

I wonder if either of you have come across any connection between your Patrick and a Norman Stanley MacLEAN (Norman McLean) in your research?    Norman was station manager for the rural property known as Fairholme,  on the Lachlan River, between Condo and Forbes.   I can see from my family’s archived private papers that Norman engaged a P Heffernan as a rough carpenter ‘on and off’ during the 1920s.

PS I have quite a number of archive boxes of family history for Norman Stanley MCLEAN and his NSW ancestors, siblings etc, so I am just noting that a 'rough carpenter' named  as P HEFFERNAN was recorded in the Accounting Books for the Station in the 1920s in anticipation that that info may be of help to the HEFFERNAN family historians.
