Margaret Barry, was born in October 1832, inLoughfeedora, Cashel, Tipperary

His parents were Thomas Meagher and Honora Brien

He married Margaret Barry in Ireland in 1857

He arrived in South Australia sometime between 1857and1860as his daughter Annie was born in Victoria, Australia in 1861 and according to his death certificate he had spent 4 years in South Australia.

He died in Victoria in 1907, and was 78 years old.

Margaret Barry was bornin Loughfeedora, Cashel, Tipperary, Ireland in 1832. She died on the 17 Feb 1910 in Victoria, Australia. James and Margaret had 9 Children in Australia but they may have had one or two prior to themleaving for Australia.. Any information on this couple would be most appreciated

Rod:

Roots Ireland does not have RC records for the parishes in Cashel. I did locate the 1826-1827 Tithe records for St. Patricksrock civil parish. A number of Maher records are listed including two Thomas Mahers.

Rod,


I can guide you in the right direction but you will have to use snail mail.


Write to The Secretary, Cashel Parish Centre, Friar Street, Cashel, Co Tipperary. The secretary has access to the baptismal and marriage records for the parish of Cashel and Rosegreen. She may be willing to assist you.


Best of luck with your research,
