Hingerty One Name Study

  When putting together family trees in Ireland a researcher must sometimes resort to using some less familiar resources, such as Dog Licences. Irish records are notoriously scant which is the result of a combination of: * being a war torn, invaded country * The General Records Office having been blown up (munitions stored IN the building) in the 1920s. All records had been studiously collected into this state of the art building for safe keeping...... * Census records having been destroyed in the blast and subsequent fire, having been purposely destroyed as not being of interest and having been turned into pulp for paper production during war time. It is therefore very difficult to put together family trees .......So you go looking for alternative information sources- such as Dog Licences! Dog licences were introduced into Irish law in 1865 with the first licences issued the following year. A licence cost 2 Shillings per dog with an extra 6 pence for administration costs. The lice...

What happened to Margaret Kehoe nee Hingerty and her husband Edward Kehoe? When and where did they die? Margaret Hingerty was born about 1821 and arrived on the ship "Jane Gifford" in 1841 with her cousin (?) John Hingerty.  (Birth date unknown- would be 1821 according to her age on the shipping records or 1818 according to her age on the Request to Marry records of 1844.) Margaret is listed on the shipping records as a housemaid from Toomevera, Tipperary. who can neither read nor write. Her parents are listed as William Hingerty, farmer and Mary Quinlan, his wife. In 1844 Margaret married Edward Kehoe/Kehor in Sydney after obtaining the necessary permission to marry since Edward had been a convict. Edward was from County Wexford and had been transported to Sydney on the ship "Lonarch" in 1825 for a term of 7 years for killing a cow and a heifer.  He received his Ticket of Leave in 1830 in the Bathurst area,    one year before the end of his sentence. At the time of...

  Today (January 18, 2022)  is an historic day for Hingerty family research! We now have a Hingerty YDNA Haplogroup!  To explain (the quick version):  YDNA is the DNA that only males have.  YDNA mutates slowly and is not affected by recombination each generation as autosomalDNA is.  YDNA can be traced back in a direct male line back, from son to father to father.... back to the dawn of time when YDNA Adam lived in Africa. Gradually, groups moved out of Africa, spreading their YDNA signatures across the surface of the earth,  following different migration paths and timelines. These broad haplogroups are named by the letters A through to T. As well as mapping this development of the various haplogroups geographically, this movement and mutation has also been represented as a branching tree, called The Tree of all Mankind. This tree started out as simple one page poster, but as more and more men have taken YDNA tests, and as the tests have become more and...

  Are the family lines for the nine Hingerty immigrants to Australia extinct or extant (still in existence)? Do they have living descendants? Mary Hingerty EXTANT Born about 1813 Ireland Arrived Hobart Tasmania 1835 Mary was the subject of a previous post.  Mary- The First Hingerty in Australia Mary has many descendants in Australia from her two children William George Patterson and Victoria Mary Ann Patterson. Some of these descendants have been in contact and are DNA matches to descendants of other Hingerty lines. It would be wonderful if more descendants were identified, especially those who have already DNA tested and invited to upload to FTDNA and join the Hingerty All others DNA Project at FTDNA. John Hingerty EXTANT Born about 1813 Tipperary, Ireland Arrived in Sydney 1841 Married Isabella McDonald in Goulburn, NSW in 1845. John has many descendants in Australia from his 10 children. A large number of these descendants have DNA tested and some match descendants of oth...

Using the power of atDNA to answer the Big Hingerty questions: * Are all Hingertys related? * How are they related? Paper documents alone will not answer these two BIG Hingerty questions, therefore we need to turn to DNA evidence.....the exciting possibilities offered by YDNA have been discussed in previous posts.... in this post we will turn our attention to autosomal DNA. atDNA: Autosomal DNA is passed down through both male and female lines.   There are 22 pairs of chromosomes 1 through to 22, numbered in order of size.  (The 23rd chromosomes are the sex chromosomes X and Y. They will not be discussed in this post) We receive one of each pair of chromosomes from our mother and the other from our father. What we receive for our parents are a mixture, re-combination from their pair.  So even siblings receive a slightly different mixture from the same parents.  Recombination occurs at each generation.  We inherit 50% of our atDNA from each of our pare...

Mary- The First Hingerty in Australia Mary Hingerty travelled to Tasmania aboard the immigrant ship 'Sarah'.  The ship departed Gravesend (on the River Thames, London) on 16 October 1834 and arrived at Derwent Dock Hobart Town on 14 Feb 1835. Hobart Town 1835 (held by state Library Victoria) Immigration: 115 single females on board the Sarah, including Mary, were 'Bounty Immigrants', recruited by the Agent of the Emigration Committee to help address the gender imbalance of the colony of Tasmania. The immigrants were to pay 5 pounds towards their own passage or sign a promissory note to make payment once employed. Single women were recruited in Ireland and England.  Mr John Marshall, the Agent for the Emigration Committee arranged for the passage, the hiring and provisioning of the ship for the voyage and then, upon showing receipts and accounting for all costs, the Emigration Committee sought reimbursement from the British Government at the rate of 12 pounds per immigra...
