John McNamara and Mary Toohey of Clare, Ireland and James Cavanagh of Mayo, Ireland

Dear Ireland XO

I am looking for any information regarding John McNamara born Clare, Ireland around 1800s who married Mary Toohey born 1807 Clare, Ireland. John McNamara was my ggg grandfather. Mary Toohey McNamara died in Victoria, Australia 4 December, 1901.

Mary's mother was Ellen Slattery Toohey and her father Michael Toohey, both born in Clare. They had a daughter in Clare, Ireland, Margaret Theresa McNamara in Clare, 1838.

They came to Australia between 1838 and 1876. Margaret McNamara their daughter born 1838 married Patrick Cavanagh born 1829. Patrick Cavanagh's father was James Cavanagh. He was born 1800 and died 1875. Margaret Theresa McNamara born 1838 died in Stalwell, Victoria, Australia in 1876.

Patrick Cavanagh, Margaret's husband was born 1829 Ireland, died 1913 Victoria, Australia. If you have any information regarding the McNamara, Toohey or Cavanagh families detailed here please let me know. I would like to find John McNamara's parents or some information on Michael Toohey and his marriage to Ellen Slattery. Any information, no matter how small is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards, Carolyn from Australia
