KENNEDY & CONNOLLY FAMILIES IN AUST
Leanne 7/31/01
The time period is very close to that of my great grandfather, Denis Connolly, who migrated with his brother, Timothy, from Skibbereen in County Cork of Ireland to the Moreton Bay District of New South Wales in the 1850s (this was before the crown colony of Queensland was incorporated).The brothers were parented by Timothy and Catherine Connolly (nee Collins).
They proceeded to Warwick.
Timothy was born around 1836 and Denis was born in 1838.
Denis married Johanna O'Callaghan (born 1839), formerly of Crookstown in County Cork.The two raised eleven children of which my grandfather was the second youngest.The second oldest, James, went on to serve with the Western Australia government as Agent General, followed by a knighthood by Edward VII.
There might be connection if there is relationship to Timothy or if other brothers were on the trip from Ireland.
