Hello Listers I am looking for the above mentioned names.
The family of O'Connor arrived in Australia about 1876 and this is what is known of them to date, any extra info would be gratefully appreciated..
The parents were Daniel O'Connor and Susan Moloney, who seem to have NOT come to Australia with their children but stayed in Ireland. The children were born in Clare, Ireland it is thought.

Mary O'Connor arrived aboard the "Trevelyan", it is thought that she may not have married and lived in Melbourne.

Bridget O'Connor arrived with Mary. Bridget married James Donohue.

Margaret Eileen O'Connor arrived with her 2 sisters. She married Edward Joseph Burke in 1892. They had Edward Joseph Burke, Honora May Burke, Margaret Eileen Burke and Michael James Burke.

Michael O'Connor arrived in W.A c.1884. He died 17/12/1951 in Essendon. Married Mary McManus in 1897. They had Gordon O'Connor, Mary Margaret (Agnes) O'Connor (she married Bert Banger ) Norah Mary O'Connor. These children were all born in Colac.

James Daniel O'Connor died 26/12/1948 in Colac. He married Susan Moloney in Colac in 1920. We think Susan Moloney was a daughter of John Moloney & Catherine McCoy. Susan died 21/3/1945 in Colac.

Norah O'Connor it is unsure if this sister came out or not, it is thought that she stayed in Ireland.

Susan O'Connor, we think, came out from Ireland at some time and she may have died in Victoria under the name of Susan Hogan.



If you are linked to these families we would like to hear from you as well.

Thanking you all,
Melissa Hallyburton.
