Lookup request Patrick Carrick marriage in 1852

[Jules0912]

Hello!

I am a novice on this site, but have dipped in and read some interesting posts that relate to my own family research; in particular Henry Carrick (1830 -1864). Henry's parents were Anthony Carrick and Lucinda Lawless. Henry migrated to Australia, marrying a Mary Cave in March 1854 at St Patrick's Catholic Church in Adelaide, which at the time was a fledgling colony proud to be established with free settlers instead of convicts. They moved to Ballarat in Victoria, quite likely following the gold rush. Henry died in his early 30s, leaving a wife and a young family, and while he must have been respectable, he left his family destitute. Mary applied to have her eldest children made Wards of the State, with no further information about her available after this time.
I would really like some information on Henry's Irish family. Clearly they were of some standing, with evidence of ownership of property in Killaloe. When did Henry leave Ireland and if possible, why?  Why was his Australian family left destitute upon his death?   Further information about Mary Carrick nee Cave is also sought.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I don't know if this is your Henry Carrick --- but a Henry 'Carrig' born about 1830 sailed from Plymouth (England) - to Adelaide on 24th March 1851. The ship was 'Marion'.

This actual query is on the Lancashire Board of Roots Chat, as the original poster was referring to an event in Lancashire.

I am just thinking, that for your query relating to Mary Cave - you may have more luck on the Australia Board and repeat your query about Mary - giving a reference link to this previous correspondence.

Is there anything in the Australian newspapers concerning Henry's death?

On here (scroll down) it shows:
Henry Thomas Carrig, 21 yrs from Co Clare
Mary A Carrig, 23 yrs from County Clare

You may already know this. The ship,was apparently wrecked but all passengers saved.

How interesting, Heywood -- I never knew of this website.

Some useful snippets written about some passengers as well, where they have sadly died on the journey etc.

I searched the ship’s name after your post, just to see if there was any other reference and found that site, Pennines.
There are others listed from County Clare too.

Heywood --- your site gave Henry a middle name of Thomas, but also identified him as being from County Clare. My info was very basic from Find My Past and was only a transcription - no actual image of the entry in the ship's record.

Yes - I noticed others from Clare as well on the page. Still don't know if it's the correct Henry though. The Mary A. with him could have been a wife or a sister. But Jules's Henry, married in Australia.

Revolution in reply #6 says that Henry and Mary A moved to Australia.

Jules0912 has made a post on the Australia Board. However there are very obvious problems.
It is possible that this Carrick family is not correct.
The advice has been to revisit and question the research, and look at the primary source documents which are readily available online.

Thank you for the update Neale.
