Hello Peter,
Yours is the first response I have had to my enquiry and I have not expanded my knowledge of the Gillogleys as yet.
In my initial research at National Library using the Australian Pioneers Register I came across 16 different spellings of this name.I put this down to the illiteracy of the time and the difficulty of scribes in interpreting the rich accents being used.
When Daniel Hurley married the widow, Sarah Gillogley (Boyes), he took on responsibility for the Gillogley children as well and Gillogley names appear on some of the Hurley birth registration certificates as the informants.
My uncle Dan recalls that one of the Gillogleys owned a hotel, possibly at Kyabram, Victoria but it could have been some where else such as Moulamein in NSW.
Regards
Robert
