Michael Hogan in Australia
Posted: Fri Feb 24, 2012 8:05 am
Hello from Australia
I am seeking your advice as to how I can further investigate my Irish ancestry ( from County Clare) as all avenues I have tried have not helped in the least.
The facts that I know are:-
Patriarch – Michael Hogan -great great grandfather- fate unknown, do not know if he left Ireland, arrived and died in Australia
*Ellen Hogan ( nee Cane/Kane/Kean) – off death certificate born County Clare died 1892 aged 93 years – 26 years in Victoria and 7 years in NSW
Children
Bridget – unknown, same information missing as her father
*Ellen – off death certificate born Dangan County Clare died 1912 aged 69 years – 40 years in Victoria and 17 years in NSW
*Patrick- off death certificate born County Clare died 1911 aged 74 years- 21 years in Victoria and 28 years in NSW
*Maria – off death certificate born Ireland died 1919 aged 70 years – 40 years in Victoria and 16 years in NSW
*Thomas- off death certificate born County Clare died 1905 aged 59 years – 28 years in Vitoria and 20 years in NSW
*Michael –off death certificate born Innis, County Clare died 1905 aged 45 years- 22 years in NSW – I do know that he also was in Victoria from family anecdotes- he is also my great grandfather.
*Margaret – off death certificate born Clare died 1924 aged 72 years- “over 50 years in both NSW and Victoria”
All of those marked with * are the only facts that I can confirm outside of the death certificates, as all of these family members are interred in 3 family plots at Gore Hill Cemetery, Sydney.
My work has also been made difficult because whilst Ellen, Maria, Michael and Margaret all married in Australia, only my great grandfather Michael produced any children and, unfortunately, these children were not prolific breeders which has resulted in my 2 sisters and myself as the whole descendent trail from this heritage.
There are similar named persons listed in sponsored immigration from your County Clare but I cannot determine if these are mine or not.
