Ellen McCarthy nee Mulcahy
rhayes
My three times ggrandmother is Ellen Mulcahy from Limerick, she married Daniel, alias Denis, McCarthy and arrived in Sydney NSW in 1826 on the Thames with at least 3 children, Jeremiah, Dennis and Ellen. The 1828 census records their ages as Ellen 33, Daniel 32, Jeremiah 12, Dennis 10, Ellen 7 and a newborn, Jane aged 3 weeks. They had a son Daniel Thomas in 1834 at Sydney. He married Margaret McNamara nee Spinks. Their eldest son, my greatgrandfather Daniel Joseph was born 1859 at Bathurst, he married Elizabeth Ward and had 11 children, their 9th child is my grandfather, Daniel Thomas McCarthy born 1898 at Mumbil married Kathleen Corby and had 9 children, my mother is their 3rd child.
I am trying to discover who Daniel and Ellen's parents are, and whether any of their siblings, parents or other relatives came to Australia too. Any help is greatly appreciated and hopefully reciprocated if I have information I can share.

I am also researching my family tree and Ellen and Daniel McCarthy are also my 3 X grandparents. Ellen arrived on the Thames with some of her children in 1826 however Daniel was transported in 1824 on the convict ship, Castle Forbes.
My Great Grandmother Elsie M McCarthy 1887-1959 also born in Mumbil or Bathurst was Daniel T McCarthy sister.
Daniel McCarthy's parents were John McCarthy 1770-1834 and Mary Cahill 1775-?
I have Ellen's parents as Denis ? and Ellen Murphy.

AussieLynchs on 2023-02-03 10:01:18The McCarthy family arrived on the Thames in 1826. They were Ellen (nee Mulcahy) and her children Jeremiah, Dennis and Ellen. Their father (and husband) was Daniel McCarthy who arrived in 824 on the Castle Forbes. Once they reunited, Ellen and Daniel had a further 4 children here in Sydney. They were: Jane (1828), Daniel (1834), and John (1838).
Daniel (Jnr) married a widow Margaret (nee Spinks) McNamara and they had 4 children - Daniel Joseph (known as Joe), James Joseph (known as Jim) Ellen, and Jeremiah Joseph (known as Joe).
James Joseph McCarthy is my ancestor.
James Joseph McCarthy married Margaret Mary Schons and they had 11 children.
Does anyone know the burial place of Daniel McCarthy (Snr) and Ellen?
