Seeking information on Laurence Killian
Laurence was born 1859 as calculated from his age on his death certificate in Australia.
According to his death certificate his birthplace was Drum, Roscommon.
The death certificate states his father was Denis Killian, farmer and his mother was Bridget Fanning.
The informant for his death certificate was Laurence's wife, Jane Killian (nee Gaffney)
Laurence had two children born in Ireland: (1) Mary born in 1884; and (2) Josephine born in 1885. Both children were born at Clara, Kings County (now Offally). Laurence stated that his occupation for both registrations was shop keeper.
In December 1885, Laurence, Jane and the two children arrived in Australia on the Roma which left from Glasgow. They disembarked at Townsville.
Laurence and Jane went on to have four more children. Frances born in 1887 was my grandmother.
He died aged 48 years and is buried in Townsville, Australia.
Unfortunately, I don't know if Laurence had siblings (who have probablly gone on to have children).
Any information and suggestions for sources of information will be gratefully received.
Thank you, Marilyn.
