I am a descendant of a Michael Holohan and Mary Brennan – their son Michael Holohan born abt 1811 in Ballyragget, Kilkenny married Julia Egan (alias Judith Hogan). Julia was born abt 1820 also in Ballyragget to John (Hogan) Egan and Catherine Britt. I am trying to find out any info Michael and Julia’s parents and siblings.
Michael and Julia married sometime around 1841 prior to them setting out to the Colony of New South Wales, They departed Plymouth on the ship “Lady Kennaway” on the 13th June 1841 and arrived in Sydney the 12th October 1841. Two months later their first child was born in Camden on the 13th December 1841, there followed, 8 more children, all born in the Colony of New South Wales. Michael died on the 22nd September 1888 aged 77 at Camden and Julia on the 6th September 1907 aged 87.
Two additional member of the family immigrated to the Colonies – Michael Holohan and Mary Brennan’s grandchildren, Ann Taylor (born 1833 in Ballyragget, Kilkenny) and her brother Thomas (born 1828 . Ballyragget, Kilkenny). Ann and Thomas went out to join their Uncle Michael Holohan on the ship "David McIver in 1852. Their uncle, Michael paid their passage. Ann Taylor was to marry John Edward Taylor on the 6th August 1855 at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church, Sydney. I am unaware of what happened to Thomas after his arrival in Sydney.
I hope to hear from other descendants of this Holohan/Brennan and Egan/Britt family as well as the Taylor’s.
My info on the family is at www.sheather.co.uk
All the best,
Michael
