Burried Rookwook Witnesses to their marriage in 1839 were Dave, Don Cavanah, Mary Callaghn Sydney Morning Herald 30 Mar 1885 THE FRIENDS of the late Mr. CORNELIUS O'CONNOR are invited to attend his Funeral, THIS (Mon- day) AFTERNOON ; to move from Sydney Hospital, at 2 o'clock, for Necropolis. WALTER STEWART, Undertaker, Bathurst- street. There were 10 children of the marriage. But by 1885, 3 males and 4 females (including Kate and Mary Ann) were dead. Sailed from Plymouth in 1852 on the "Kate'. Arrived in Sydney on 16-10-1852 having paid ₤1-10-0 for their passage. Plymouth (3rd Jul 1852) to Sydney (16th Oct 1852). Almost certainly fleeing Ireland after the great potato famine (1845-1850+). It may also account for the possible infant deaths possibly in Ireland. The parish register of Kanturk shows a thriving community with an average of 5-6 marriages per week and about as many children christened each week - in the years immediately after their marriage. Then in 1845, the numbers marrying and eing christened plummets. Disaster. Corneilius could read and write. He had been foreman of the saltworks in Kanturk (which may explain how they survived the famine.) He worked as a wharehouseman in Australia. Sands Sydney & NSW directory gives the following info (This directory was first published 1858-9, not all years recorded). 1861 - C O'Connor, paddington st, Paddington 1863 - O,Connor Cornelius, landholder, 58 Judge St (west side between Wooloomooloo Lane and William St) 1864 - O'Connor Cornelius, 580 Crown St (east side near Clevland St). The usual place of address given by Honora on her marriage cert (Dec 1864) is given as Crown St. 1865 - O'Connor Cornelius, 612 Crown St. (The relation of the cross streets indicates that this is most likely a renumbering of the street. Vacant land and buildings was common.) 1866 - no record 1867 - O'Connor Cornelius 612 Crown St (east side near Clevland St) 1868 - O'Connor Cornelius 612 Crown St 1868-1871 - O'Connor Cornelius, dairyman, 619 Bourke Street (This was between Surry St and Victoria St, possibly on the corner with Victoria) 1873 - O'Connor Cornelius, dairyman, 617 & 619 Bourke Street 1875-6 no record 1877 - O'Connor Cornelius, 617 & 619 Bourke Street 1879 - O'Connor Cornelius, 617 & 619 Bourke Street 1880 - O'Connor Cornelius, Dairy, 36 Davies St (this is off Bourke St). Still listed at 619 Bourke St as well. 1882 - 617 Bourke t - Borne Alfred (journalist) & Charity (plumber) 1882 - O'Connor C - dairyman 26 Davies St 1883 - O'Connor Cornelius, dairyman, 123 Bourke ST, East Redfern 1884 - O'Connor MC, dairyman, 123 Bourke ST, Redfern 1885 - O'Connor M Cornelius, dairyman, 123 Bourke ST, Redfern Cornelius died 1885 1886 - 123 Bourke St - Henry Lee. {There is only one Cornelius O'Connor listed for this period so I assume that they moved in the general area. My interpretation is that 617 & 619 Bourke St was at or near the corner of Bourke and davies street - now Surry Hills - which adjoins Redfern.} Helen Bell 619 Bourke St Surry Hills was also the suburb quoted on the birth cert of Mary Noraah Elizabeth Maitland Cairney on 26 March 1878. |
