Michael, son of Thomas and Catherine migrated to Australia, via Californian goldfields, Otago NZ goldfields, accompanied with Maloney cousin/s. Early 1850's
Thomas (father) buried in Ireland. Catherine remarried and migrated to America and to Australia. A daughter, Bridget also migrated and married in Australia.
Any info appreciated.
Hi there,
Thank you very much for you query to Ireland Reaching Out.
You could check the land records the Tithe Applotment Books (1823-38) for more information about Catherine and Thomas. Or the later Griffith's Valuation (1848-64).
Without more dates and locations I cannot offer ore assistance. Please keep in touch and if you find more information, please post it here on our website on this thread.
Kind regards,
Sinead Cooney
I searched on Findmypast and there is no Bridget or Michael with those parent names in the whole of Ireland.
Cappawhite has good records going back to 1815. However, if they were baptised in Solohead Parish (right near Cappawhite Parish), there is a significant gap in the baptisms between the 30th of April 1828 to the 25th of February 1837.
