George Mason 1805
Back to ListI believed my great, great grandfather and mother were married in Castlebar in 1835. I have now found it to be George Mason married Jane Copeland on 29 Jan 1833 in the Roman Catholic parish of Aglish.
George Mason born Circa 1805, we believe his father is also named George and thats all we know.
Married Jane Copeland born Circa 1810, father named John and mother Bridget.
They moved to Australia sometime after their marriage, and had a son named George in Circa 1850. We do no know if there are other siblings or if any of them were born prior to arriving in Australia.
As for children - we now know, the only record showing up (in Ireland) places them in Longford in 1850:
George Mason Jr baptised 08-May-1850. - Parents George Mason & Joanna Copeland. (Noting that this name is Joanna, not Jane -assuming this is a typo or misinterpretation of records -still investigating this anomaly)
Godparents: Thomas O'Neil & Esther Bellews
Further investigation has found George Mason's occupation was recorded as "SOLDIER 27TH REGT". – the 27th (Inniskilling) Regiment of Foot. (I would like to continue to invistigate this).
