Cornelius Leahy & Margaret Manly

THE LEAHY FAMILY...

From what I have established so far the Leahy's and Manl(e)y's appear to have immigrated to South Australia from Ireland.

 Cornelius and Margaret were married 3 Oct 1858 at Mt Barker, South Australia, his father was Denis Leahy and her father was Edward Manely.  At some stage following their marriage they travelled through Victoria to the Wilcannia area in NSW were Cornelius worked as a horse breaker and teamster, I believe for the Cobb & Co Coach Company.

** The descendant list below except for my direct line has NOT been completely confirmed but established via BDM indexes.
Buckiinguy was a property owned by Cobb & Co.  The Whitney family lived there in 1863.  A grave of one of their children is on the property.  Buckiinguy once incorporated the stations of: Mara Creek, Benah, Morbello West, Wooloogoola, Tooloogoola, Wooloogoola West, Morbello, Grayway, Waugbundry, Wandamungay - comprising 'Millie and The Mole'. Rutherford received Buckiinguy on Whitney's death when the Cobb & Co properties were split up.

    Hi there Fiona & Kristin, would love to compare notes with you both, and I also know that my Aunt Bev (Tamworth) would love to chat with you.

    I am just in the middle of changing over my gedcom from phpgedview to TNG and trying to get it on online, once I have done that I will be in touch with both of you.

    I have to take advantage of the school holiday's which have just started otherwise I will never get it done!

    Could you both drop me a line with your email addy's? As I have a few certificates that I will scan and add to the site as well for you.

    My gg Grandfather Dennis Leahy was born 10/1819 in Thurles Tipperary and was the fifth of six children, 4 boys and 2 girls born to Dennis Leahy and Mary Ann Kearney/Carney. He immigrated to the US around 1850, and was planting trees in California by 1853.
    Just wondered if you knew where in Ireland your Leahys are from.
    I broke down today and ordered a search from the Tipperary Genealogy Center for my Mom's birthday pressie, so I hope to have more info soon. Cheers!
