My great grandfather Thomas Owens was born in County Mayo in 1840. He married Annie Farrell in 1869 in either County Mayo or Victoria, Australia.
His father was Patrick Owens and his mothers maiden name was Mary Kenny. I believe they resided in County Mayo however may have left Ireland to live in Australia.
Information has been difficult to obtain from Irish records prior to 1850.
Apparently Annie Farrell was born in Kings County Ireland in 1843 and her father was William Farrell and her mothers maiden name was Bridget Heaton.I believe they married about 1829 in Parsontown (also called Birr) Ireland.
Thomas died in 1912 at Brunswick, Victoria and Annie also died at Brunswick in 1883.
I am hoping another researcher on this line of the Owens family tree may be able to provide further information on the family, particulary information on Patrick Owens and Mary Kenny as I have not been able to progress any previous details beyond them.
Any information would be very much appreciated.
