James Gleeson b c1834 Cappamore, Co. Limerick

[monemore]

James and his wife (?) Ryan are supposed to have immigrated mid 1850s and settled at Spring Creek (Puebla), Victoria.  I found this online reference file:///C:/Users/MM/Downloads/Post_Contact_Heritage_Assessment.pdf  to a James Gleeson with a 301 acre farm.

This is possibly James' death record (mother's name was Kirby)
GLEESON   
Given names James
Event Death   
Father's name Michael   
Mother's maiden name Alice (Kuby)   
Reg. year1876   
Reg. no1394

The 1876 death would appear to refer to a James Gleeson of Echuca, Victoria

DEATH. (Trove - Riverine Herald)
GLEESON.—On the 31st of December, 1875, at the
Town Hall Hotel, High-street, Echuca, James
Gleeson, formerly of County Limerick, Ireland,
in the 39th year of his age.

However, there are a number of other Gleesons buried in Echuca Cemetery and it would seem that James' wife was called Bridget. 

Can anyone find anything further on James of Spring Creek?

thanks

There is a marriage for James GLEESON to Bridget RYAN in 1859 in Victoria (reg 1686).

Then another for James GLEESON to Julia RYAN in 1862 in Victoria (reg 1517)!

Notably this was NOT the same James (unless he was a clever bigamist) as there were children born to each of these women at the same time and in different areas.

James and Bridget were in Echuca (so seems likely the one whose death you posted) and had 4 children:
James 1866
Ellen 1868
Margaret 1870
Mary 1873

Echuca is not that close to Spring Creek (now Graytown), especially in those days.

James & Julia were in Majorca/Timor/Maryborough/Chinamans Flat - even further away.

There are two further marriages for James GLEESONs born in Tipperary so perhaps a common name in the area: one to Johanna O'DONNELL in 1868 (reg 1617) and to Mary Anne DONOVEN in 1869 (reg 570). Plus two more in the 1880s...

Hopefully I have managed to post without breaking any rules or offending anyone

EDIT: The infant William GLEESON buried at Echuca 1886 was the son of Margaret GLEESON, father unnamed, so could be James' grandson. Ellen d. 1888 was daughter of Patrick & Mary.

Firstly these are the details from my resource for James GLEESON death mentioned in your post, bearing in mind that information on death certs is only as accurate as the knowledge of the informant.

There may be more than Spring Creek town/locality in Victoria however as mentioned there was a Spring Creek which was the former name of Graytown.  The link on your post doesn't function.  Try this one

I would be surprised if James was actually born at Geelong c1834.  Perhaps he was simply from Geelong or married at Geelong.

His 1859 marriage certificate which you can purchase online [AUD24] and immediately download would help you as his parents including his mother's maiden name would be noted along with his age and place of birth.
