Dwyer family Cappawhite/Briarfield/Ayle

Thank You

Hi Miriam

I note that the Merrick at Ayle was called Johanna.Is this the same as Judith if so could this be Johns daughter although the age is not the same

 

My 3x great grandfather Daniel O’Neill (Neal) was married in 1818 with Briarfield listed as home. In census records this is town land of Druminda of Cappawhite. Daniel’s granddaughter Honnora O’Neill (my great grandmother), married Richard Mockler of Ayle, Cappawhite.  DNA has linked descendants of John Dwyer and Mary O’Neill (m.1826) of Ayle to my family. Add in that John Dwyer son of John and Mary O’Neille named his land in Australia Briarfield, the family connection must be close. Possible that Mary O’Neill and Daniel O’’Neill maybe siblings. I have not found records to confirm. My great grandmother Honnora O’Neill Mockler’s sister Mary O’Neill was still living in the family home in 1920 when she wrote to Honnora in Wisconsin. I have not found Mary’s death record. 

Thanks for the response. Janet Jackson Freeh

 

Hi Greg

Just wanting to ask where in Australia did your Dwyers settle? My 3x great grandmother was Mary Dwyer b 1819 Cappawhite who married John Butler in Cappawhite 1851 and they along with Mary's brothers, John and William Dwyer emmigrated to Australia in 1856, settling in the Cooma/Monaro area of NSW.  Mary, John and William's parents were James Dwyer and Jane Ryan.

Hi Shae

My Dwyers settled in Casino in northern NSW

I have a Mary Dwyer  Mary Dwyer (b. ~1790) marries James Fleming (b. ~1790), a labourer, on the 25th February 1811 in Cappawhite, Co Tipperary. Witnesses: Martin Dwyer and Thomas Dwyer.

Five children baptisms found:

• 19th February 1812 Johanna Fleming born Drumwood, Solohead Parish, Co Tipperary.
• 26th June 1816 Mary Fleming born Drumwood, Solohead Parish, Co Tipperary.
• 8th June 1820 James Fleming born Solohead Parish, Co Tipperary.
• 2nd September 1823 James Fleming born Solohead Parish, Co Tipperary.
• 18th September 1826 Juliana Fleming born Solohead Parish, Co Tipperary.

The townland of Drumwood is right near Ayle. 

The children had the following sponsors: Margaret, James, and Anna Dwyer. Johanna had a Catherine Dwyer as a witness to her wedding. 

Going by naming rules, Mary's mother may have been Johanna (or Mary). 

John Dwyer is listed in Milton Damer papers 1787-1798. He rented land in Dromwood (Drumwood). The chances are that he may be Mary's father.

All these names are similar to what was posted above, so probably a link somewhere :)

Hi Greg, Bridget Woods nee Dwyer was my Great Great Grandmother I have a good deal of information on her life and the generations that followed, your ancestor John Dwyer was her brother, I was fascinated to hear that you have a letter from their father to John in Australia. Thanks for the information you posted we always believed Bridget had family that came out to Australia also, it was good to have that confirmed, Cheers Michael

Hello Greg, Michael, Janet and others. As I have mentioned perhaps in another posting, My great-great grandfather Patrick was John, Michael,  and Bridget's brother who emigrated to New York. DNA has confirmed this connection. Michael lived briefly in NY, as well, before returning to Ireland, marrying, and then emigrated to Australia. I would love to know more about their families and family trees and perhaps see photographs. The earliest photo I have of the Dwyers dates to ca. 1900. Is there a medium we could use to share more details and perhaps images? I have an image I would like to verify as Patrick perhaps by comparing to his siblings. 

Best regards, Susan
