Their son is Cornelius james Hanley born 1811 nenagh ireland, died in Melbourne Australia in 27 September 1911. He married Sarah Ann Scott in 1848 - 1936

Cornelius John Hanley was born 3rd Feb 1872in Euroa and died 1959 in Melbourne. He married Sarah Morgan 1878 -1951.

Daughter is EnaClarice Hanley born 1910-1984 in Euroa, Victoria ( married name Mitchell.) She is my grandmother and the mother ofmy father John Austin Mitchell 1930-2002.

Any ancestors or information on the parents of James Hanley is much appreciated.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I checked the subscription site Roots Ireland and the earliest James Hanley baptismal record was in 1800. No way to know if  this record is for your ancestor.

Question: You indicate that James' son was born in 1811. Is that correct since his mother was born in 1811?

Hello Roger,

Thanks for pointing that out, Cornelius James Hanley was born 1847-1911. 

I will check the new information given and see where it takes me.

If anyone should be related I would be happy to swap some family pictures of the australian ancestors.

Thanks again Roger.

Roger, how can I get a copy of his death certificate? I cannot locate any link to follow? Also, how can I narrow it down from just 'Meath as place of death?  Will his parents names definately be on his death certificate?

Andrea:

From your earlier note, you indicated that Cornelius died in Australia. Is that correct? I'm not familiar with obtaining Australian death records.

Hi Roger

James Hanley died in Tuam Ireland in 1866. His wife was Mary Ryan who died in Tipperary 25th March 1857

.

I cannot confirm If James parents are William (billy) Hanley and Anne Sheredan.

I had the wrong Hanley.

The civil death records will not show parents names. It will show date of death, townland, cause of death, name of informant and sometimes relationship of informant to deceased.

This link http://www.welfare.ie/en/Pages/Apply-for-Certificates.aspx  provides instructions. I assume you just need a photocopy rather than a cert. Provide them with year and quarter of death, registration district, Volume and page number.
