My great-grandmother Margaret Moroney was born in Bruff on 27/04/1839. She was the daughter of Johanna Finn and John Moroney ( a carter) of Bruff.

Her siblings were: Honora (1829)

Andrew (1831), Patrick (1834), William (1836) and Bridget (1846).

Margaret was a servant, she migrated to Victoria, Australia in about 1860, married Christopher Brunke ( a Hanoverian) in 1863 and had a daughter Hannah Mary in 1864. Christopher died the same year. She then met my great grandfather Joseph Laffin of County Down and had seven more children: Hugh (1868), John ( 1870), Joseph (1872), Isabella (1874), William (1876), Margaret (1878) and Andrew (1881).

Both of her husbands were gold miners.

Margaret Laffin died at Corindhap, Victoria in 1890.
