Hello,
I am trying to trace the oriigins of my 2nd Great Grandfather & his Wife.
His name was Patrick Hoare, born about 1811, he was married to Anna Hogan. When they sailed for Port Adelaide, South Ausrtralia from Plymouth, England on the 26 February 1854 they had two children, Patrick aged 1 and an infant named John. They settled at a mining town called Kapunda where Patrick worked as a miner.
Patreick had a brother, Michael, born about 1816 who also emmigrated, he aboard the ship Time and Truth which left Plymouth on 11 January 1854. He was accompanied by his wife Margaret (37), daughters Biddy aged 13 and Maria (6) and son Thomas (11). Michael later farmed in the Hawker District in South Australia where he died from typhoid fever on 28 Feb 1888.
I am writing a book about my Family's History and want to be accurate about its origins, any information would be most helpful.The best I've had so far is the mos migrants that departed England from Plymouth hailed from Cork or Dublin.
Thanking You in advance
Ian Beard

Hi
My Ggrandmother was Honora Hogan she was born Mulberry Lane, Mitcheltown Cork I have found details saying her birth was 1846. Her parents were Michael Hogan and Catherine McCarthy.
She appears in Adelaide sometime after 1878 as she had her first child with William Dowling - child William James Dowling in Mitcham SA in August 1879.
Williams Dowling's parents came into WA in 1840 and moved to South Australia in 1841, From what I can gather they lived at Kapunda, I believe William and Honora eventually moved to Cooma and then to Queensland.
Perhaps Honora Hogan was related in some way to Anna Hogan, any help appreciated, and if I can assist with anything further I may know, if you think there is a connection please let me know
Regards
Jan
