needing help to find family of 2nd great grandma who emigrated to Australia

TipperaryNenagh (Tipperary)

Looking for information re my 2nd gr grandmother and her family:

Winifred Condra/Condon/McCondra,  born in Nenagh, Tipperary abt 1838

Fathers name: Owen Condra/Condon/McCondra.   Mothers name: Mary Gleason

Winifred arrived in Vicoria, Australia possibly in 1858, either alone or with family (maybe her father Owen)

In 1860 Winifred married Charles Henry Wilson in the Catholic Church of St Francis, Melbourne, Vic Australia.

They had 3 children. Julia Franciscus Wilson, John Henry Wilson and an unknown child,

in Reedy Ceek, Vic, Australia.

Winifred died in South Australia in 1908

Hi Jen,

Have had a look for Winifred but didn't have much luck!

I've attached a few leads though.

I googled Victoria Immigration and got www.prov.vic.gov.au and it had Winifred's arrival in Dec 1822 on the Shooting Star with her sister Bridget. There are other Condons who came at the same time but on another ship also..

The Victorian BDM lsiting of Wilson - Condon is attached; you can purchase the rimage for $20 which will give you the parents' names.

I searched on ancestry and there is a private member tree with some information but you need to contact him to request it. If you are not an ancestry subscriber I can do it for you.

Thanks for your help.

Have had the success in Australian records too and have the marriage cert already and I did find that same arrival info you suggested and had put it asside.

Dates of arrival and and ages match, so I think I will call that one as being her.

 

Not sure on my next move in regard to Winifreds and her father, Owen's Nenagh history though.

Cheers Jen

Maybe try a post on the Nenagh parish on this site, Jen.
