Text:   May 14 (1978) 171 Layard St., Invercargill Dear Bill, After as many years it was good to receive word from you and to know that through the Dominicans the Moloney clan can still keep in touch. Yes, we are indeed widely scattered throughout New Zealand and there are so many whom I don�t even know about. Maybe some day I�ll make it to Auckland and to the north. But that day is not yet. Mary, eighteen in August, is doing the new Polytech nursing training which is new to Invercargill this year. They have had an excellent pass rate here in the past, so they are all working desperately to make a success of this new venture. So far, Mary�s tutors tell me they are pleased with her so I hope she makes the grade. John is still at secondary but causes us some worry because he has so far failed to make much use of the good brain he has. Please goodness he�ll make a move before it is too late. John, my husband, is at home now and I teach at Southland Girls�High School. I�ve been back there for about six years after a gap of nearly twenty . It�s a busy life and there are times when I think I�d agree with your daughter. But I enjoy teaching really and it has it�s rewards. Now, information about the Moloneys and Ireland. I have nothing recent of course xcept that one of the Lumsden Crosbies, Nelson, did find a kind of cousin somewhere. For what it is worth, here is what I know, and it comes from odd bits and pieces which Mum had saved. There are some records copied from the Parochial Register in Newport, Co. Tipperary and signed by James Canon Howard, Parish priest in 1914. They state that � Denis, son of Michael Moloney and Mary Humphrys was born in that parish on Jan24. 1829. Ellen, daughter of Patrick Kennedy and Ellen Ryan was born in the same parish on May 4` 1840( Grandma�s actual place of birth was the town of Tourien Brien, Tipperary ) Denis and Ellen were married in the presence of Patrick McGrath and Bridget Kennedy in the Newport Parish on March 6 1859. The next information is taken from a copy of Grandma Moloney�s obituary notice. With one son Michael, they left Ireland in 1861 and came to Melbourne in the sailing ship � King of Algiers � In 1862 they went to Launceston where they lived for nine years.. They left for New Zealand in the � Claud Hamilton � whichhad to turn back after three days and they eventually arrived in Port Chalmers by the �Tararua�. They left Dunedin immediately by wagon for Queenstown, a three week trip. There they built the Arthur�s Point Hotel. The four younger children were born there. About 1889 they returned to Dunedin to the Ocean View and then Kensington Hotel and later to the Commercial Hotel in Lawrence. They moved to Lumsden in the early 1900�s. I think, and then Grandfather died in 1917 and Grandma in 1935. And now there are the birth dates and names of the family, my mother, uncles and aunts. For some I know only one Christian name: Michael July 17 1860 Ireland Newport Nellie Sept. 2 18621 Launceston Auntie Nell was Mrs.J Walsh, Milton Mary August 14 1864 Launceston My godmother was Mrs. J Carroll Nicholas August 1866 Launceston Cornelius June 18 1868 gaunceston William Feb 19 1870 Launceston Emma Jan 18 1873 Arthur�s Point Queenstown I think that she was always called Amy. Margaret March 2 1875 Arthur�s Point Auntie Mag, Mrs. Joe Crosbie, Lumsden. James Jan 22 1877 Arthur�s Point He died not long after returning from the Boer War. Catherine June 8 1879 Arthur�s Point Back to Ireland - the only names I find are one of a niece of Grandma Moloney. She was Ellie Murphy of Lackamore, Newport and by 1927 shed had married Philip Kennedy of Curneeny, Co. Tipperary, and moved toa 22 Rathmimes Terrace, Rathmines, Dublin. In her 1927 letter she said that her sister, Mary, had married Pat Shinners , (orShinner, and lived near her mother in Lackamore. Well Bill, I am sure you would not have expected such an epistle as this but I�ve quite enjoyed looking through old newspaper cuttings etc.. Anyway, for what it is worth,there it is - unfortunately about fifty years out of date for the Irish end. I shall be interested to hear later if you find anyone connected with the family. And I do hope that you and Elaine ( whom I may possibly have met with you and Uncle Bill and your father on the Auckland railway station about thirty years ago) will have a wonderful trip to Europe. My regards and best wishes to you both for this trip and to your family. Carroll Goodger Contacts actually made on our 1978 trip: 58 Moyne Rd.

Notes
a. Note:   Denis Moloney was the third son (fifth child) of Michael Moloney and Mary Humphreys (Humphries). Michael and Mary's eldest son was also named Denis, which does look confusing. The most likely explanation for this is that the elder Denis died in infancy or very early childhood, the name Denis would then of been given to the next son. This was a fairly common practice at the time and also indicates that Denis was named after someone close to the family. Most likely Denis was the name of Michael's father. Denis was born in the parish of Newport in the townland of Lackamore in county Tipperary. All we know about Denis' young years is that his father was a farmer and that he lived through the great famine of 1845-49. Whether the Moloney's remained farmers is unknown, it is also not known if they were land owners or tenant farmers.
b. Note:   HI9
Note:   (Research):In the list of Tasmanian Assisted Immigrants held in the Auckland Library I found the following: Maloney Dennis (32) Maloney Helen (22) Maloney James (14) Maloney Michael (inf) Maloney William (21) Ref: Reel 14-7, page 156, ref CB 7/12/10 Kennedy Eliza (52) Kennedy Phillip (20) Ref: Reel 14-7, page 164, ref CB 7/12/10 All were on the Royal Shepherd that arrived in 1861. Vessel: Royal Shepherd 1861 The information I have on the Royal Shepherd is basic but here it is: The Royal Shepherd was built by Blackwood and Gordon of Paisley, UK and launched in 1853. Originally owned by the Launceston and Melbourne Steam Navigation Co., the Royal Shepherd was 331 tons, 42 metres long and 6 metres wide. Powered by a twin cylinder oscillating steam engine, the ship was at first based in Melbourne before moving to Tasmania, Adelaide and finally Sydney. The ownership changed many times over the years, with owners including Tasmanian Steam Navigation Company, Spencer Gulf Steamship Co. Ltd, H.J. Cattanach, W.A. Firth, T. Elder et al and finally J. Warburton and Son of Pyrmont, Sydney. Originally built as a passenger/cargo vessel for the Bass Strait service with capacity for 50 passengers, it was converted a number of times over its 37 year career, with its final role being a collier and a latter role as a sewage ship taking wastes out to sea!! It sank in 1890 after a collision off Sydney Heads. The wreck sits upright on sand at 90 feet. It appears that they arrived in Victoria (Mebourne?) on the "King Of Algeria" July 1861. This information is taken from the Victorian Goverments website. http://www.vic.gov.au/prov/Unassisted1.asp Unassisted Shipping Index Index of Inward Passenger Lists for British and Foreign Ports 1852-1889 Year: 1861 Month: JUL Ship: KING OF ALGERIA Port: B Fiche: 191 Page: 1 Names: MOLONEY DENIS (32) MOLONEY HELEN (0) MOLONEY HELEN (22) MOLONEY JAMES (14) MOLONEY WILLIAM (21) The Kennedys that were also on the Royal Shepherd arrived on a different vessel about 1 month later Year: 1861 Month: AUG Ship: LIGHTNING Port: B Fiche: 192 Page: 4 names: KENNEDY ELIZA (52) KENNEDY PHILIP (20) I now think it is more than likely a coincidence that these two were on the Royal Shepherd at the same time. In 1899 Dennis and Ellen he is on the Caversham Roll (Hotelkeeper & Housekeeper) in Park Street Caversham. Also on the same roll is an Amy Moloney (Home Duties) on Park Street Kensington?! Along with the Cornelius on the 1893 Roll I suspect they had at least the following children (in order): Cornelius Nicholas William Amy In 1897 he is listed on Nicholas and Albina's Marriage Certificate as a Hotel Keeper. Both Denis (Dennis) and Ellen appear on the 1893-7 Rolls as Hotelkeeper and Housekeeper in Kensington. I could not find them after this but need to do more research. In the 1890 Postal Directory there is a Denis Moloney listed at the Kensington Hotel, St Kilda Rd, Caversham, Dunedin. In the 1885 Postal Directory there is a D. Moloney Listed at the Ocean View Hotel, Hillside Rd Sth, Dunedin. On the 1882 Return of Freeholders there is a Denis Moloney listed as a publican in South Dunedin. The Total Value listed of his property is �60.

Note:   Denis Moloney and Ellen Kennedy were married in 1859 in the presence of Patrick McGrath and Bridget Kennedy. Ellen came from the same area in Tipperary as Denis and it there is a possibility that the families may have been neighbours. There is also anecdotal evidence that they may have been related by marriage, Denis is recalled by one person to of been a cousin to the Ryan's that emigrated to New Zealand, Ellen Kennedy's mother was a Ryan. Denis and Ellen emigrated from Ireland soon after the birth of their first child, Michael, in 1861 (Michael was born in 1860). The young family travelled in a party of at least 6, possibly more, and arrived in Melbourne, Victoria in July 1861 aboard the 'King of Algeria'. Arriving in Melbourne were the following people: MOLONEY DENIS (32) MOLONEY HELEN (0) (This was Michael being recorded as an infant of Ellen's) MOLONEY HELEN (22) MOLONEY JAMES (14) MOLONEY WILLIAM (21) RYAN MARY (20) James and William were younger brothers of Denis. Mary Ryan and Ellen Moloney were friends, and possibly cousins. It was not uncommon for names to be recorded phonetically which was why Ellen is listed as Helen in the ship register. The family were listed as 'unnassisted immigrants' which means that their fares were paid in full privately and not sponsered by any third party. The logical assumption would be that Denis paid the fares himself, which indicates at least some level of financial security. We do not know if any family were left behind in Ireland. At this stage we are assuming Denis sold up whatever assests the family had and emmigrated with the family. This would indicate he was the eldest surviving son, however it should be noted that this is a very loose assumption. Sometime in late in 1861, or early 1862, the same family is listed as 'Assisted Immigrants' to Tasmania. This means they took part in one of the immigration schemes the Tasmanian goverment and local businesses were running. It also indicates that the family was either very frugal or not overly wealthy. We can also assume that work was not easy to come by in Melbourne so they looked farther afield (Melbourne was the busiest port in the empire for new immigrants during the 1860's). They travelled across the Bass Straight aboard the 'Royal Shepherd'. The following Moloney's were aboard (the spelling is as per the ships register): MALONEY DENNIS (32) MALONEY MICHAEL (INF) MALONEY HELEN (22) MALONEY JAMES (14) MALONEY WILLIAM (21) I understand Mary Ryan also followed them to Tasmania but have not been able to find a record of her travelling with the family. We do know Mary Ryan and her two sisters eventually settled in New Zealand and remained close to the Moloney's. According to family stories Denis and Ellen ran hotels in and around Launceston (Tasmania) for a number of years (9). It was here that their next 5 children were born. At some time in 1870 Denis and Ellen set out with a family of 6 for New Zealand aboard the 'Claude Hamilton', a steamer operating out of the port of Melbourne. Unfortunately after 3 days the ship developed a problem with the boiler and had to return to port. The Moloney's are reported to of eventually arrived in Port Chalmers aboard the Tararua some time later, exact date unknown. A search of shipping records indicates that the family probably arrived as steerage passengers (steerage passengers were generally not recorded by name). We know for sure is that in 1871 Denis was in New Zealand having land surveys in the Lakes District (Queenstown, Arthur's Point). It is likely they arrived around November 1870. From Port Chalmers the family immediately set out for Queenstown, a wagon trip that took approximately 3 weeks. Denis purchased some land and built the Arthur's Point Hotel, a hotel that is still in existence today as the Arthur's Point Pub. It should be noted that the original hotel was destroyed by fire at some stage in the early 1880's (perhaps 1880) and rebuilt. It is not certain if Denis owned the Hotel when it was burnt down or not, more than likely not. The four youngest children were born in Arthur's Point, giving them a family of ten children, five boys and five girls. In 1882 Denis Moloney is listed in the Return of Freeholders as a publican in South Dunedin with a total property value of �60. I believe he had left Arthur's Point by this time and was running the Ocean View Hotel in Hillside Road, South Dunedin. By 1890 Denis and Ellen had moved to the Kensington Hotel in St Kilda Rd, Caversham (Dunedin). They remained there until at least 1897 and possibly as late as 1907. From Dunedin they moved to Lawrence where they operated the Commercial Hotel. About 1917 they retired to Lumsden where Denis died. Ellen continued to live on a small farm in Lumsden under the care of her daughter Margaret until she died in 1935.
