Looking for any information on the death of Margaret Gorman nee Murray. I believe she would have died after 1840 and before August 1852. Her husband John Gorman and his 5 children emmigrated to Victoria Australia in August 1852. There was no listing for the mother/wife Margaret. The family were from Murroe, County Limerick. John and Margaret's eldest daughter was born around 1834 and her name was Catherine, she is my GGGrandmother.

  • Hi Jenny

    There are 3 burial records for Margaret Gorman 1846 + - 10 years on www.rootsireland.ie/ - a subscription site.

    They are: Tyrone 1848 aged 30; 1836 no age given Louth; 1856 aged 45 Sligo

    None in Limerick I'm afraid

  • Hi ,

    I have searched the parish records and There is no marriage record for John and Margaret , also there is no baptismal records for any children to this couple.

    I have also serach the local graveyards and there is no records of Mgt Gorman in any of them.Thats not to say she is not buried there  , as many families were unable to affors headstones.

    If you have any further questions do not hesistate to ask

    Thank you so much for your search and feedback. I will go back to my local family history centre and see what address the father put down on his emmigration records.  Once again thank you.

  • Hello, I am also looking for information about Margaret Murray who married John Gorman (1804-1872). They were my Great great grandparents. 

    They lived near Kilbheny Village in Co Limerick and Margaret died approx 1850 leaving 4 children. I do not know Margaret's year of birth and if this could be confirmed and also where she is buried if known it would be appreciated.

    John & Margaret's children were: Catherine 1829-1882, John Murray Gorman 1838-1917, (my great grandfather), Maurice (unknown birth or death date) and Mary Gorman 1836-1927.

    John and the 4 children left Ireland for Australia arriving in 1852 initially settling around the Wallan or Pyalong area north of Melbourne.
    I would also like to confirm the name of the ship that they came to Australia on.

    Thankyou,

    Jo
