Born about 1822 in County Clare, but date is a calculated guess. Daughter of Frank McNamara and Eliza Lissatt (or similar).
Married James Honan in County Wicklow in the 1840's (or earlier) and had a daughter Mary born about 1842 (based on Death Age of 82 in 1924) or about 1846 (based on Australian Immigration records). Her Australian Death certificate listed 'six daughters' but only one (daughter Mary) came to Australia from Ireland (see later). Three were born after her second marriage in Australia in 1852, leaving two presumably having died in Ireland.
Departed for Melbourne, Australia before 1852 (unable to find any Immigration records ) and later on her Daughter Mary departed Liverpool on 9 March 1863 on the 'Bates Family' as an Unassisted British Immigrant. She arrived at Hobsons Bay, Melbourne on 8 June 1863. Also with daughter Mary was her Aunt Bridget Honan (nee Green) and Bridget's daughter Catherine Honan.
I would liked to have known the name of a town or village in County Clare where my ancestors came from no luck. I visited County Clare and the 'An Gorta Mor' Memorial at Ennistymon on 11 June 2011 and that is the closest I got. Any help would be much appreciated.
