Hi Bernard,

I was wondering if the name could have been Beaky as there were Beakys in Ennistymon up to 1944. An Edmund Beaky married a Joan Gleeson in Miltown Malbay in 1830 abd had a daughter who married a Dan Garrihy - their children al emmigrated on New York.

There is a record of a death of a Patrick Beaky from Cahersherkin (near Ennistymon) and later Fanore who died on Jan 1 1944 and is buried in the Old Cemetery Ennistymon. This may or may not be of help.

Kind regards

Brid

Bernard,

Patrick Bakey and Anne Shannon are my g g grand parents as well, on my father mother's side of the family. My grand mother was Gertrude Baker(Egan) her mother was Margaret Bakey, the daughter of Patrick and Anne. A group of her family is travelling to Ennistymon this year in October for a family reunion. I'm interested particularly to know what source you used to discover the dates of their arrivals in Adelaide. I can only locate Patrick's arrival in on the 4th June 1857 on the Tantivy. Would love to make contact and compare notes. I have a Heritage web site called Baker Family with 800+ people.

Look forward to your reply

Graham

I have the answer to Anne Shannon's emigration to Adelaide.  Also can talk about the Dohertys of Co Clare.  I note that a letter from "Pat" was mentioned on a Facebook Page - I can possibly explain this.

I will be in Ireland October 2017 visiting my daughter and family and could be interested in the family reunion

If you live in Adelaide, I will be there this week - Thursday, Friday and Saturday

Regards

Bernard Smith
