John Hingerty- An Australian Artist

Image
John Hingerty  (1930-2019) was a self-taught Australian artist who, after a career in fashion, achieved significant success.  His work, primarily landscapes and seascapes, executed in oil, watercolour, acrylic, and pastel, was exhibited widely and is held in numerous collections.  In 1994 his painting Memories of Georges River was gifted by Hurstville Council to the sister city of Shiroishi in Japan. John Hingerty was also a respected member of the art community, serving as president of the St. George Art Society in Sydney.  His paintings have sold at auction for prices ranging up to $629 USD.  John Hingerty died in 2019. His legacy rests on a prolific career dedicated to his art and mentorship.

Hingerty Place, Penrith, New South Wales, Australia

  I know of two places in the world named for Hingerty: 1. Our townland in south west Cork. Use this  LINK  to read about this townland. 2. Hingerty Place, South Penrith, New South Wales, Australia. Hingerty Place is a small cul de sac in a residential area in south west Sydney.  There are 11 houses in Hingerty Place. To access Street View on Google Maps click on this  LINK Hingerty Place was named for William Kevin (Bill) Hingerty. He was the grandson of the immigrant John Hingerty (1813 Tipperary- 1889 Temora NSW) and Isabella McDonald (1826 Oban, Scotland-1913 Temora NSW). Bill was born in 1906 in Temora, New South Wales. Bill was a returned WWII soldier. He had served 15 months in hygienic work with the army in Alice Springs. He was appointed Health Inspector to St Mary's Council in July 1946.

The Other Twin- Tom Hingerty 1923-1993

Image
Thomas Patrick Hingerty was born 20 minutes after his twin brother  John William Hingerty on 23rd December 2023 in Temora, New South Wales. Tom was named for his paternal grandfather Thomas Joseph Hingerty (1868-1940).  Tom and Jack were the first born of Francis Patrick Hingerty (1893-1946) and Margaret Jane (Peggy) Molony (1891-1980). Their mother Peggy used to tell the story that when she was heavily pregnant with the twins her feet were so swollen that the only footwear she could fit into was a pair of men's slippers. She walked up to the hospital in those slippers when she went into labour with the twins. The twins were soon joined by their younger brother Ted (Edward Francis 1926-2006) in April 1926. Ted was twin to a still born female. Three little boys under three years old must have been quite a handful for Peggy. Her younger sister Mel (Imelda Molony 1907-1999) travelled up from her hometown of Grahamstown (Adelong) to help her older sister. Mel remained with the fam...

UPDATED: The Two Harrington Families of Templederry

Image
Created by CH and ChatGPT (AI)            Updated- 19 July 2024      There were two Harrington                families in the Templederry area of Tipperary.....       Were these two Harrington families related?      Were they related to  Hingerty/Ingerton families? Did the ancestor of the first Harrington family in the Templederry area arrive from south west Cork with The Great March of the O'Sullivans in January 1603?? Let's begin with a bit of geography....  Where is Templederry?   Where were these two Harrington families located in relation to each other? Location of Templederry in Ireland Location of Templederry in Tipperary Family 1: Family 1 was discussed in a previous post in July 2023  Link to previous post Descendants of Family 1 still live and farm in the Cloghinch area.  Their family oral history has them arriving in the Te...

A SNP for "our John"- Hingerty YDNA Project Report April 2023

Image
 The Big Y 700 test results for tester SH from Australia are now in.... and the good news is that they have revealed a SNP (a YDNA mutation/variation) that most likely formed when John Hingerty (1813 Tipperary-1889 New South Wales) was conceived! Our Hingerty YDNA tree now looks like this (the new SNP being marked with a star) Thank you to SH who tested- his results have made this identification of the "John Hingerty" SNP possible. As stated in the January YDNA report: Our focus now needs to turn to the Irish and Stafford lines. You need two testers to both be positive for a SNP and all others to be negative, for a new SNP to be named and dated.  To achieve this state of affairs you need two men who are closely related to test.   This has yet to be achieved on the Irish and Stafford lines as there are to date only one tester on each of these lines.  Our research cannot progress without these additional testers. Further testers on these two lines will assist us to: -...

Hingerty YDNA Project- January 2023 report

Image
Background: We currently have nine Hingerty BigY700 testers representing the four exisiting Hingerty lines with living Hingerty males. We have the results of eight of the tests, the most recent (BH, USA) becoming available this month (January 2023). The ninth test (SH, Australia) was only taken and posted to the lab in Texas in late December. We will have those results in a few month's time. We are using a combination of: * Genealogical data * STR data from YDNA testing (111 Markers) * SNP data from YDNA testing (BigY700)  to answer our two research questions  Are all Hingertys related?  How are they related? Thank you to our "Hingerty Heroes" JH, PH, MJH, SH, BH, MH, WH, DH and RH for taking the YDNA tests and allowing our research to progress. (Click  here  to view a video presentation introducing you to YDNA and the Hingerty YDNA Project.) What the results have revealed to date: All Hingertys are related: STR Evidence: All Hingerty testers match at the STR 11...
