Looking for Dennis O'Farrell from Galway early 1800s. Had a son Patrick O'Farrell who came to Australia 1850s - he married Catherine Prendergrast. Looking for siblings of Patrick and any other connection to Dennis.

Hello there

I'm not certain about the 1850s, I've had to piece it together from death certificates and the like. The north-eastern Victoria aspect is very interesting - the Patrick I'm talking about ended up in Bendigo which isn't that far from Tallangatta. Do you know where your Patrick's other siblings ended up?

When you refer to another person referring to Dennis and Catherine - where does that reference come from?

Would love to hear more from you about this. I've been chasing Dennis for years and this is the first time I've had contact about him. Was Dennis your Patrick's father?

Do you know where your Patrick and the Dennis mentioned are from?

regards

p

It is now clear that most of the comments I previously contributed re family of Patrick Farrell and Mary Morrissey are wrong and should not be relied upon in any way. The timelines and circumstantial records were an uncanny fit but a coincidence nevertheless. It is certain only the children of Patrick and Mary emigrated, except for one who remained in Ireland. Patrick died in 1890 and Mary in 1901. The children emigrated during the 1870s and 1880s. Timing of the name change commenced in the decade between early 1870s and 1880s.
