Catherine died 2 July 1888 at Golden Point Victoria and is buried at Chewton. James was born c 1823 in Co Clare and died 1 August 1900 in Hillgrove NSW and is buried at Armidale NSW.Any information or direction would be much appreciated.Virginia |

Dear Virginia,Do not know if there is any connection but my g.g. grandfather Patrick McNamara also arrived in S.A. on the Hooghly in 1846. He lived at Undalya in the Clare Valley and later moved further north to Carrieton and Johnburgh. Do you want me to see what I can find out?Chris Gill (Mrs) |

Patrick McNamaras brother James married a Catherine Stanley who was a witness at my great grandfathers wedding (James Featherston (then "haugh")) married her niece Mary Ann Stanley - Catherine's residence was Manoora). Tracing it back Patrick McNamara had married Mary Donnelly. Ellen Evans (James F's "single" mother) and Mary appear to have been lifelong friends from the Mary Dugdale in 1840. In the early 1850's they were in the Hills (Ellen - Kersbrook). By 1854 they are again immediate neighbours (Ellen Woolshed Flat backing onto Mary's property at Undalya.) I am assuming my James F (Catholic) would have gone to school at Undalya in the McNamara home. My question is:Can anyone give me any context information from family sources which can help me understand my families (Ellen Evans (later Griffiths), Stanley, Featherston especially when they lived around the Undalya area? |
