Thomas Devine & Mary Ann Cahill

Thomas Devine & Mary Ann Cahill

Looking for members of the Devine family originally from Ireland, but also living in Australia in the 1800’s. We are unsure whether Thomas and/or his parents migrated to either the UK or America before travelling to Australia.

My grandparents were Thomas Devine and Mary Ann Cahill. Thomas was born in Ireland in 1854 and died in Corowa, NSW, Australia in 1914. Mary was born in Goulburn in 1867 and died in Paddington, Australia in 1930. Her parents were John Cahill and Naomi. Thomas and Mary married in 1894 and had the following children: Harold Joseph 1887, Mary 1891, Thomas 1894, John M 1896, Hildred K 1897 , Bryan Francis 1901, Catherine M 1906, Alma 1910. Thomas and Mary lived and worked in Albury, and it is believed that Thomas was a gateman with the railways there.

If anyone has any information that would help our research, it would be greatly appreciated.

Can you please list all the information on the marriage certificate 1894 please?

Can you please list all the information on the death certificate for Thomas DEVINE d. 1914.

It would ask for "..years in the colony" which would be a clue to his arrival.

On the marriage certificate there is only date and place of marriage - 21st July 1894 at the Roman Catholic Church in Gosford. We do not have the death certificate unfortunately, but know of his date of death and where from other sources. Do you have any information about this family?

Hi Paul,

I am not related.

Death in October 1950, of Harold Joseph DEVINE, a son of Thomas DEVINE and Mary Ann CAHILL.

A birth certificate of a child, of T. and M. A. DEVINE, will give you the age and birthplace, of both parents.

Hi

I'm not related.
Are you more interested in the ancestors or descendants of Thomas and Mary Ann?

The following link provides an obituary of their son Harold Joseph

EDIT: sorry for the double up Mary was obviously much quicker than I!

Will look for more info on descendants if that is the info you are after.

Hi Karin

Thanks for your email. I have a lot of information about Thomas & Mary's children, but I have no information at all about Thomas's parents, grandparents or any ancestors before him. I don't know when he left Ireland, and where he went after that. Thomas Devine is a very common name in Ireland, and it's hard to find any specific information about him at all. I've had a bit more luck with Mary Ann Cahill as she was born in Australia and I've found her parents etc, but Thomas is a mystery.
Thanks again
Paul

Hi Paul

Found a death on Trove for Thomas Devine in 1916 at Albury not 1914 and son is listed as Rev. Father H Devine. Here is the link
http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/139036182?searchTerm...

Are you sure he died in 1914?

Following on from that on NSWBDM the 1916 death it shows his parents as Michael and Mary.

Will continue.

Hi Pasul,

Karin has the correct death and Paul has the wrong death, for Thomas DEVINE. Here were the two options.

22 March 1914 death

2731/1914 DEVINE THOMAS THOMAS ANNIE A COROWA

20 Nov 1916 death

17903/1916 DEVINE THOMAS MICHAEL MARY ALBURY

Here is a link about Father Harold DEVINE travelling to be at the graveside of his father, Thomas DEVINE.

Possible the same story posted by Karin.

Hi Paul,

More info, if possible from the "21st July 1894 at the Roman Catholic Church in Gosford" marriage certificate.

Witnesses names?
Age of the Groom?
Occupation of the Groom?

Maybe, the church records of the marriage, which should be on microfiche at major libraries, will show his parents names, as supplied by the groom himself.
