Thomas Nolan was born at Kiltartan Gort 4 November 1856 to Thomas Nolan and Catherine Glynn.

Young Thomas emigrated to Australia at the age of 19, landing at Townsville 17 June 1876, later living in Sydney in 1882. He married Margaret O'Sullivan from Cullen Cork in 1884. The family moved to Rosebank near Murwillumbah northern NSW around 1898. After drawing a farm at Stokers Siding near by, they moved the family there in 1906. Thomas later drew another farm at Ungarie near West Wyalong and then again at Leeton southern NSW in 1915, becoming one of the pioneers of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area. Thomas and Margaret had 8 children: Thomas, Francis, Margaret, George, Sydney, William, Frederick and Annie. George and Sidney served in WW1, George served from 1915-18 and won the Military Medal in 1918 at Le Hamel, but unfortunately Sidney (1916-18) was killed in 1918 at Messines Ridge.

Thomas's early life in Ireland is unknown other then his family are the Nolan's from Rinneen and Ballyaneen South. It's likely that his father (listed as a carpenter at Gort) is Thomas 1823-1871. Nothing yet is known of his mother Catherine Glynn or who her family was, most likely she was part of the Glynn's from Shrah.
