CANTILLON/CANTULON/ CANTILLEN etc.

Have posted on the general KERRY site previously, but kind peple have suggested I aslo post on the parish site.

CATHERINE CANTILLON/CANTILEN/CANTULON etc. - KERRY

A Famine convict.

Born circa 1833/35. Reputedly 'Castleshannon, Causeway'. Kerry, Died 1906, Mt. Lloyd, Tasmanian, Australia.

FATHER - PATRICK. No mother named. (Dead?)

SIBLINGS: PATRICK, JOHN, HONORA, BRIDGET, MARY, MARGARET, ELLEN. 

These are the family she herself named for her convict record.

A grand niece Bridget Cantillon is known to have married into the BARRY family. 

My cousin had correspondence in the 1990's with two people from different descendencies of a particular CANTILLON family and was given some rough trees.

He also had correspondence from a descendant of the above Bridget who married the BARRY.  Unfortunately, no dates or other names provided.

All believed they were descended from this particula Patrick, but when searching, some of the avaialble data did not 'quite' add up.

The trees so kindly given to my cousin, gave no dates, nor had the name of the wife of PATRICK the father.

I can suppy these names if anyone thinks they may be able to help, but would prefer to do it offline on my private email.

I have searched the digitised records of this county and surrounding ones, and records seem to be missing for this particular time period.  

I can find no sign of my particular Catharine (given on obituary as Catherine Elizabeth.)

The Cantillon deaths I have found, do not help as they have no ages, nor other information that I can use to link the siblings named.

CATHERINE was convicted at Kerry for Larceny. Stealing clothes. 6 months for Potatoes. 6 Months for a Goose. Transported for 7 years on 17 November, 1852 on the ship MIDLOTHIAN to Van Diemens Land (Tasmania, Australia) Arrived 24 February, 1853 in the town of Hobart, 

The 'Midlothian' was the third last convict ship ever to arrive in that state. 

Given permission to be married in 1855 to WILLIAM CLARK/E, who himself stated he was 'born in the colony' - but whose origins cannot be traced and are, up until this time, totally unknown. 

Catherine would have been an immediate stepmother to between four and six? young children and other much older step-children from a previous relationship.

She lived a famine-free life as a farmer's wife and had nine children of her own.

I am her GG Granddaughter through one of her female lines.  My MTDNA line is hers. H3b 1b1.

Wynnette Ford, nee Mansfield.

Born Tasmania, now living in Queensland, Australia.
