Hello Alan & Carol,
I'm also a Melbournian who hasdescended from Maloney/Moloney's who came from Clare to Victoria. Perhaps these details could be of assistance:-
My GGG Grandfather Patrick Maloneywife Honora (nee Mcnamara) and children Michael & James sailed to Melbourne, Australia on the "James T Foord" arriving May 1851.
Michael was born C1843 and died on the voyage.
They also had another son soonafter called Michael who was born in 1852 near Geelong and died in 1883 at Creswick.
The shipping record lists them as coming from "Chivey" in County Clare. I cannot see any townland in Clare with this spelling and suspect it has been translated phonetically as they were illiterate. Perhaps you can suggest a townland in Clare that might be interpreted as "Chivey"
Look forward to hearing if you have anything that matches up here.
Regards.......John
