Hugh QUINN and Rose Hannah GALLAGHER from FERMANAGH

My great-great grandparents Hugh QUINN (1824-74) and Rosanna (1826-1905) (nee GALLAGHER; aka Rose Hannah), both from County Fermanagh, accompanied by their children Mary Ann, Joseph, James, Hugh and Rosanna, all born in Dublin, left on the "Alice Walton" from Liverpool bound for Launceston, Tasmania, Australia 30th September, 1836. They arrived in Launceston 30th December, 1836, the youngest child Rosanna aged 2 having died at sea. To date I have not been able to trace any Irish records of these ancestors. If any one can help me in my search I would be most grateful.

Dear Marie

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

The only records I could see on Roots Ireland were for the children of Rose and Hugh - Joseph, John, Rose Ann and Hugh. I didn't see a marriage record for Rose and Hugh on Irish Genealogy.ie or on Roots. If you don't have their baptism details you can see them and sponsors' names etc on rootsireland,ie. Their Parish is recorded as Clontarf

Best wishes

Hello, have been looking into my husbands family tree. He is a descendent of Hugh and Rose, through a son they had while in Australia (Francis Xavier Joseph Quinn). He then settled in New Zealand which is where we are. 
Good luck for your search
