Do not know anything of the Mckenna families now, it must 50 years since I was last in Hobart, they grow up and never know their married names. Of the boys, I think the people you met might have been Philip or Sydney Mckennas children, they could/would be Uncle Christs Gransons, hence the simalarity of christian names.
Would be inclined to think (181) Land Grant would be an original and might be tracable Charles Mckenna Senior also took up land at Longbay/Gordon, it was a small holding. I remember spending time their with my Gramma Catherine Mckenna about 30 Mls down channel. Gramma was a very handsome superior type of LADY, with neatly golden hair, I do not know if they were maried in Ireland. Her brother Thomas McHugo married an English woman also. I think young Charles McKenna (wee) had they property eventually but he had no family so do not know, what became of it.
