Title: 8-7-98. Letter from Marilyn McKenna
Author: Marilyn McKenna
Publication: Sender: Marilyn Mckenna Date: 08-07-1998
Text: Dear Andy,
How is it going? I have some information for you. Charles was born in Scotland in 1818. When I went to the Mormon church I did some checking up and was able to use the computer. They have a program called Family Search. Through that I was able to go into Family Link which is Tasmanian Families 1803-1899. I had a great time searching and came up with some interesting things. I am going back to recheck some stuff, that I missed and am hoping will fill in some blanks. Anyhow here is what eventuated. I will try and write as to what came up on the screen, with a added note also.
Charles Mckenna B 1818 Scotland. No mention of his mother or father.
m. Catherine McHugo. Didn't have her birthdate or marriage date or place. Also her mother & Father weren't listed. It showed their children. (Am going to do print out next time I go.)
Mary Mckenna B 1853. No place mentioned. Mother & Father weren't listed.
m. Patrick Sexton. B 1838 Ireland
Children: Mary Sexton, B 23 Sept Hobart Tasmania.
No other children to Patrick & Mary listed.
Margaret Theresa Mckenna. B 1859 England D 13 Feb 1878 Hobart tas (age 19)
This is a coincidence of the previous date we had. There was no mention of her mother or father.
Christopher Peter Mckenna B 1866 Hobart Tasmania
Mother: Catherine McHugo, Father: Charles Mckenna
M: Mary Jane Lane, 21 Sept 1892, Hobart Tas
Father: Daniel Sydney Lane, Mother: Sarah Ann Bower.
Children: Charles B: 30 Jan 1893, Hobart
Kathleen B: 21 Jun 186, Hobart Christopher B 27 Sept 1899, Gordon Tas, D: 2 Nov 1899 Gordon Tas 3 weeks old
Sydney Peter B: 28 Jun 1898 Tas I can't believe the birthdate. I has to be a mistake as we have Christopher B 25 Dec 1863
John Phillip Mckenna
I couldn't find out anything on him. Nothing on Tas Pioneer Index either. Will check under Mckinnon.
Elizabeth Mckenna B: 15 Aug 1852, Hobart
m. Arthur Tulloch 30 Nov 1882, Hobart
B: 1857, Hobart Tas
Children: Mary Monica B: 11 Sept 1885, Hobart
Imelda B: 30 Dec 1890, Hobart Frances B: 2 Dec 1894, Hobart I don't recall seeing Roberth Arthur and no Charles Tulloch listed.
Jane mary McKenna B: Mar 1861
m. Hery Charles Horlock (B: 1862) m.4 Dec 1884, Hobart
Children: Henry charles
Leslie Gordon Rufus Reginald Cecil Vivian B: 9 Jan 1891 Vera Mary Jane Lillian Margaret No mention of Cyril Horlock. All birth dates are same as we have.
Catherine Mckenna B: 2 Nov 1867, Hobart
Arthur Sauel Watts Currie (B: 24 Apr 1864, Campbell Town Tas) m. 19 Oct 1892, Hobart Tas
Children: Lear B: 23 Sept 1896, Hobart Tas
Andrew Malcolm B: 11 Jul 1898, Clarence Tas Arthur Edward Walter B: 20 Nov 1893, Clarence Amelia B: 25 Jan 1895, Hobart No mention of cissie or Margaret.
Well that's it! As I said at the beginning this info came from Tas link through the Family Search program. I intend going through it all again just in case I missed something, at least I will be double checking dates as I go. Now its LEITRIM in Ireland. Also Roscommon, Ireland, not Roscommon Island, Ireland.
Also Skye in Scotland, is County of Inverness.
I need you to photo copy me Charles Edward Mckenna Birth Certificate (B: 15 Aug 1855 Tas) Also need to know where Catherine McHugo death date came fro D: 15 Jan 1908 Tas.
Could you recheck Barbara Tulloch death date. I have she died in 1976 but no place. Have looked on Vic records & wills & probate but haven't found anything.
Also I need to know where Robert Arthur Tulloch born. Brth date: 3 Jan 1888. Not on Tas index or Vic index. I think that's about it. One more, Ann Mary Mahoney. D 5 Aug 1988, but where.
That should keep you going for a while. I can't find shipping records for Tasmania. Well I will leave you will all of this, hoping to hear from you soon.
Miss you heaps, love Marilyn

Title: 09-10-1997. Letter from Marilyn McKenna

My (Andrea Kahle) comments (NR=Not related)
Dear Andy,
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you as I have had a few interuptions. First Pop ad I started to pack up his stuff. He is shifting into Moe fairly soo. Then I had two bouts of a 24 hour virus a fortnight apart. Now I can finally get myself going again.
I have been to the library and used the microfiche and got some information on the Bridgfords. Its sketchy but it was enought to get started. Also I have been to the Mormon Church and boy what a time I had in there. I copied all the info on the Mckennas from the Tamanian records and checked the dates etc with our info and 99% of it is right. However, the birthdate for Elizabeth mary Mckenna - Daughter of Charles and Catherine Mchugo, showed up as Born on 15 august 1852 (confirmed Ref.1635, photocopy on file).
Now a Charles Mckenna came up on screen as having died age 57 and the date he died was 24 Sept 1875. His re. No 2981. His parents names weren't listed.(note has been made to order a copy from Tas Archives).
I went to the library again and I checked on Shipping records. I found a Chrles Mckenna came out to Australia from Ireland in 1853 at age 33, on the Lady Kennaway which Departed Southhapton 09/05/1853 and arrived in Melbourne 15-08-1853. A Catherine McHugh (spelt exactly as written) came out on the same ship but in Dec 1848. Interesting huh. It gets better.
If the Charles Mckenna who came out in 1853 aged 33 would have had to be born in 1820. Now if he is the same bloke as the one listed in the Tasmanian records who died age 57 years, that means the dates are out by 2 years. right, a Rose Ann Mckenna came out to Australia on the Lady Kennaaway in Aug 1853 and she was 28 years old. Lets just hope these two are brother & sister I would guess they are.
A friend of mine suggest I write to the Genealogy society of Victory, 252 Swanston St, Melb, and send a stamp self addressed envelope and ask them if they know anyone researchig the name Mckenna and they will write back and tell you yes or no. If yes, they send a list of people who are doing that reasearch.
Am enclsoikgn Pops birth & wedding cerfificate and also a list from the microfish from the Tasmanian records. I know you have all the dates etc. but I wanted you to have my copy as well.
As promised am enclosing two copies of the info from the Mormon Church records in the family history section. some of th dates are a bit iffy but I copied as to what came up on the screen. I will also attach an additional note on each sheet to explain some theories I have about that particular peron marked. I hope you can undertand all this. Send me an update sheet asap so I can fill in the blanks as I go. I may have to enlarge the one I have. It's getty very dog eared.
Well I am going now. Let me know what you think about all this info I have left the Bridgeford side for the moment and will concentrate on Mckenna's. I still haven't heard from Terry Mckenna. If you get stuck or a new lead Ring Me.
When checking on names, check on all spelling eg Tulloch, Tullock, Currie, Curry etc... As I found a person who spet their name Tullock.
Love ya Heaps
Marilyn

Charles Mckenna - Refert to letter
Christopher Peter McKenna - Came up on screen as Peter. The birth date given 25 Dec 1863. On the enclosed handwritten
photo copied sheet, his birthdate showed up as 25 Dec 184 which to me I think is the same person.
Cathleen, Charles, Christopher - All born to Christopher Mckenna and Mary Jane Lane don't seem to correspond with the name of
the children the the family tree sheet thats already done.
Jacob - Born to Catherine mckenna in 1856. Could be Cathein McHugo's child. he doesn't belong to
Catherine and Arthur Currie as dates don't correspond. Catherine - She died age 47. Death date 18 Aug 1854. (I wonder if this is Cathine McHugo)
May have written date down wrong. But I just realized it can't be. Date doesn't add up with
children's birth dates. Surname Name Age Father, Mother (or Spouse) Place Date Reg No.
