Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

You are in luck. Roots Ireland had a transcription of the baptismal record. I checked for a marriage record and baptismal records for siblings but did not find any records.

Did Thomas stay in Ireland?

Hi Roger

According to a 2nd cousin of mine (whom i have unfortunately lost touch with) Thomas Dunn's father is recorded as Murtagh Dunn in the Church of Assumption baptism entry, Castledermot, Timolin, Kildare. This is the reason I put a question mark after Thomas Dunn's father.

Thomas Dunn arrived in Australia according to his death certificate sometime between 1839 & 1842.

Thomas occupation is listed as a Farmer. Died: 17 April 1855. Buried: 19 April 1855. Married: Priscilla Hannah Price or Prouse 12 May 1845., Thomas was listed as a "Widower" on his marriage to Priscilla. Thomas was 54 yrs old & Priscilla was approx 25 yrs old (born: c.1820) so according to all these dates it indicates Thomas was previously married in Ireland before arriving in Australia.

Thanks for your help Roger I appreciate your time to reply.
