Hi Matt,
I descend from a Mornane (not Murnane)!My GGGMother was Ellen Mornane, born circa 1825 in Ireland, died in Chicago, 26 March 1891.She married Michael C. Hartney in Ireland, 14 January 1845, and they both emigrated in 1849.They raised a large family on the north side of Chicago.I believe Ellen had a brother named Thomas Mornane; his obituary was saved in a family bible with a notation indicating his relationship to Ellen.
Thomas Mornane was born in 1830 in County Clare, Ireland, to Patrick Mornane and Mary Boland, and died 20 April 1873 in Emerald Hill, Victoria, Australia.I don't know when Thomas left Ireland, but know he lived in New South Wales from 1857 to 1861.He married Mary Tutty circa 1858 in Sydney and they had two children while still living there:Mary, born 1858, and Patrick, born 1860.Three additional children were born in Emerald Hill:Catherine, born 1862; Nora, born 1867; and John, born 1871.A brother named Patrick also lived in Australia at the time of Thomas' death.
