Spillane/Healy Co Kerry
I am searching for information on my gGrandfather THOMAS SPILLANE born abt 1842 in Killarney, Co Kerry, he is the son of EDMUND SPILLANE (farmer) and JULIA SULLIVAN (or O’Sullivan).Thomas and his sister CATHERINE and brother EUGENE all came to Australia and another brother MICHAEL I think went to South Africa.I have no record of when or how they left Ireland.
Thomas Spillane (Railway worker) married MARY HEALY born abt 1848 in Ballylongford, Co Kerry and the daughter of RICHARD HEALY (farmer) and CATHERINE CONNORS, the marriage took place in Australia 2nd May 1871 Thomas and Mary had 10 children in Australia, 4 of whom died under 10 years of age.
Catherine Spillane married MICHAEL FITZGERALD (Police constable) born abt 1841 in Glen Co Limerick, and the son ofJAMES FITZGERALD (farmer) and MARY HAVEHAN, the marriage took place in Australia 9th Feb 1867.Catherine and Michael had 3 boys before moving to New Zealand in 1870 where they had another boy and 4 girls.
Eugene Spillane (Railway Clerk) b 1859 and married BRIDGET O’CONNELL (b 1862) daughter of MAURICE O’CONNELL and ANNE COLE.I don’t know where Eugene and Bridget married but they had 5 children between 1893 and 1902 all born in Australia.
I have details (and some marriage and death certificates if anybody wants them) of the families in Australia but nothing really back in Ireland.They were all Roman Catholics.I would be pleased to receive any information on any of the abovenamed.
