Joseph McEvoy and Mary Moore
Laois
Hi I am looking for any information on Joseph McEvoy and Mary Moore. They were both still living when their son Michael McEvoy left Ireland on the Matoaka arriving in NSW on the 17 May 1855.
Michael was born about 1828 in Arles. Shortly after his arrival in NSW he married Alicia Keating in Parramatta in 1856 who also travelled out to NSW on the Matoaka.
Michael's work as a stonemason saw him travelling to various locations in NSW before they finally settled in Goulburn. After Alice's death, Michael went to live with his eldest son Joseph in Yass. Michael died in Yass on the 12 Oct 1896 and is buried in the RC cemetery at Kenmore near Goulburn.
