Greetings from Australia. Is there anyone out there with connections to the Mungovan's in Australia. My great-great grandmother was Anne Mungovan b. 1843 Ennis County Clare. Parents were James Mungovan and Anne Duffy and some known siblings Patrick (who married Susan O'Connor) and Martin (never married) My Anne, arrived in Aust in 1866 (SS Great Britain) and worked as a domestic servant. Can't locate any Irish info on Anne's parents or other brothers and sisters. I've got lots of info at the Australia end but nothing for Ireland. Can anyone help!!

Hi there - I am living in Australia too and am related to the Mungovan's - my great Grandfather was James MUNGOVAN born 1862 in Ennis, County Clare. His parents were Michael MUNGOVAN born abt 1845 in Ennis and Mary EGAN. James moved to Australia - but I don't know when and later married Caroline LANGDON born 1873. They lived and died in Goulburn, NSW. Their children were Magdalene, Mary, Roy and William MUNGOVAN. My Grand Mother is Magdalene - my fathers mother. Are you related to this line of MUNGOVAN's? Maybe Michael and your Anne are related (brother and sister??) I am also finding it hard to locate any info from the Ireland side of things and am trying to find details of the parents of Michael MUNGOVAN and Mary EGAN but have hit a dead end.

How wonderful to find a Mungovan contact. I haven't found a connection to your Mungovans as I too reached a "dead end", so I swapped sides of my family to research and have been working on my father's side. I still have all of my Mungovan information though and will go through it all to see if I have come across your family. My great-great grandmother is Anne Mungovan born Ennis circa 1843 and her parents were James Mungovan and Anne Duffy but I haven't found out much about them. Anne came to Australia in 1861 on the SS Great Britain. I know she had two brothers, Patrick & Martin, who also came to Australia and I would say that there may be more brothers and sisters. My Anne worked as a domestic servant for a family in Keilor (interesting story there!) and then moved to North Melbourne. With your family coming from Ennis as well, I will work through a try and find some connection. When I started my work on the Mungovan family many many years ago, I did not have the internet to access records like I can today, so now you have given me the incentive to do some digging, but from experience the Irish records (most of which were destroy) are difficult to trace. I seem to remember coming across Michael Mungovan and Mary Egan, so I will check my records. Good luck with your research and I will keep in touch. Regards

Thanks so much for the reply. I look forward to hearing from you in the future. If I come across anything for Anne I will let you know. Cheers.
