Page Page No: No: 35 Journal of the Central Coast Family History Society Inc. particularly, not even their birth dates. For all the other children, I have not looked too much further in the registers to see if any of them died but if they were, perchance, in the Edenderry Union Workhouse or moved to another county, we would have little chance to find them! Daniel was obviously very significant in your daughter Mary Maria’s life because he sent her many special gifts including jewellery and kid gloves when she was in Australia. My mother remembered how important and special Daniel was because of the many stories told to her by Mary Maria in her growing up years. Because the shipping records show that she left Ireland from Mitchelstown in Cork County, I wonder if she was boarding there because her brother was working in that town? There is a strong possibility that this may be a clue to Daniel’s whereabouts. Had she been working in Mitchelstown, or worse, in the Union Workhouse under the Poor Law Commission? My mother’s memory recalls Mary Maria’s stories of how significant Ireland was to her and therefore there was only Ireland and Sydney in Mother’s understanding of the world around her! Mary Maria was 20 when she arrived in Brisbane Australia and probably remained quite homesick for the rest of her life it would seem, because of the impact her stories had on my mother. Shipping records show Mary Maria’s home place as Mitchelstown so perhaps she travelled to Cobh to join the Montmorency as an assisted passenger to Moreton Bay, Australia, via Liverpool, Lancashire. Or was the ship’s port of departure actually Liverpool and a different vessel took the passengers from Cobh to Liverpool to join the Montmorency? The records seem to indicate Liverpool as Montmorencyy the point of actual departure for that vessel. Mother’s story was that your Mary Maria came from Philipstown, although we know from Birth Register records in the Catholic Church in Edenderry that she was born in Edenderry. Mother always said that Mary Maria travelled with her sister Susan. That part of the story remains a mystery to us too because there is no Susan either as a Donegan or Keo(u)gh on the same passenger list. There is a Mary Keogh 33, however, who comes from Ardmoyle, Limerick on the same ship. Was this in fact a sister-in-law whose brother was married to her sister Susan? Unfortunately we cannot prove anything so far from investigated records and may never know! To be continued The Muster – August ugust 2012 2012
