I am looking for information about my great great grandfather and great great grandmother. I know that their names were Matthew Mannion and Mary Redden. 3 of their sons came to Australia in 1852. They were Timothy born 1819, Francis 1823 and Thomas born 1830, I have a suspicion that Matthew and Mary had died before the boys went to Australia. These boys wedding cents etc record them as coming from durra or Durrah co tipperary so I presume that I have the correct parish. I would also like information on Ellen Meara who also came from Ireland in 1852.  She married Francis Mannion in Adelaide in 1959 and it is a family supposition that they had known each other in Ireland so it is likely she also came from Durrah. 

If I can obtain information about Matthew and Mary, I would like to know if they had any other children.  

francis and Timothy "hit the ground running" after their arrival opening up important areas of Victoria with informed selections of good property.
