Timothy Hickey was born about 1796 in Tipperary, Ireland. His parents were John Hickey and Bridget Ryan. Timothy married “Peggy” Margaret Hogan 1827 at Grant’s Town, Tipperary, Ireland. Peggy’s parents were Patrick H Hogan and Mary ?. Timothy was convicted of grievous assault at Tipperary on 12/1/1838. Sentenced to 7 years to be transported to Australia. He is listed as being 40 years old, married with 2 male children and 5 female children the oldest being 10 years old. He departed from Dublin on the ship Clyde on 11/5/1838. It was the Clyde’s second convict voyage to Australia. His wife and 6 of his children eventually joined him in Australia. The children's names were Mary, John, Johanna, Bridget, Kate and Patrick. One child I believe was buried in Ireland and may have been called Eleonora. I cannot find records for the family's voyage to Australia. Are you able to find where Timothy and Peggy's parents are buried and any other information about the family.

Hi Grantstown is in the civil and Catholic parish of Kilfeacle between Tipperary town and Cashel. There were Hogan''s and Hickey's there in the Tithes 1833. There were lots of Hickeys in the nearby Townland of Ballinard, in the civil parish of Rathlynin catholic parish of Donaskeigh. Kilfeacle would be the local graveyard. The headstone inscriptions are done in book form and are in the reference section of Tipperary town library. I will look through it next time im in Tipp. and see are there headstones to your ancestors. Will try and research some more material for you also. Let me know how you get on. Best of luck with your research.
God bless and kindest regards.

Hi Christina, thank you so much for your reply. Already I have learnt something from you. I have seen that place Donaskeigh in my records I have of the family. Thank you very much for your help.

Looking through Peter Maddens Shipping list of Tipperary people to Australia1850s I came across John Hickey aged 18 from Donaskeigh parents Timothy and Margaret Hogan in 1848 the name of the ship Hyperbad. Perhaps you have this already. Hope to get to Tipp next week to look up headstone inscriptions.
Kindest regards.

Thank you Christina, John Hickey is the only one I can find any record in shipping. There was a Johanna on the same ship but I don't know if it's his sister because the age is not quite right.
In your first email you mentioned there were Hogans and Hickeys in the Tithes. Can you explain what that means?
Many thanks, Colleencfitzgibbon

The Tithes were lists of property made out beytween 1823 and1837. Persons living in towns cities and those with less than one acre were not included. You can access this yourself at www.titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie Click on browse, click on Tipperary, click on Templenoe, click on Grantstown. Go back and click on Rathlynin , click on Ballinard. Templenoe is the civil parish taking in most of Kilfeacle. There was a church there in the 18th century. there is still a graveyard there and I am trying to find out were there headstone inscriptions done for it. There was a similar but better list of property done circa 1850 you can also access this at www.askaboutireland.iegriffithsvaluation.ie . Use the civil parishes as above.
You can also access the 1901/11 census at www.census.nationalarchives.ie . There were Hickey's still living in Ballinard in 1901.
Hope this helps.
God bless.
