Gleeson births in Ireland
I've just realised I have no confirmed births of any of the Gleeson family - only guessed from age at time of arrival in Australia or death of same. I don't have Ancestry any more
 Could anyone please help? Sometimes they give their place of birth as Tipperary (taken from a death cert - so not sure), sometimes Ennis County Clare, but all seem to be around that area (inc. Limerick) Thjs is what I have Mary Gleeson Abt 1832 Tipperary (she married James Conway 1849 Ennis, came to Australia) Ann Gleeson 1839 in Ireland (think she went to Australia) Eliza Gleeson 1840 Ennis (she married John Deering 1862 Ennis, came to Australia) Frances Kathleen Gleeson 1842 Ennis - went to Australia Alice Gleeson 1835 (know nothing more, arrived Australia 1861) Their parents were Michael George Gleeson (where, when, I don't know) & Anne Tierney (where?) about 1807 I have all their information from then on in Australia - tho nothing further for Ann Gleeson b 1839, but she did go to Australia prior 1866. Nothing more for Alice either.

Were they Protestant or Catholic, Jood?

50-50 from what the family heresay says. I think it was the father who was protestant and one of the girls wanted to be a protestant like him, so the mother must have been catholic and the girls.

Sorry, ancestry was lagging on my laptop so I thought I saw the name Anne Turney as the mother for a Mary Gleeson baptism, but it was actually for this one - last entry on the right-hand page:
http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/61...nSearchResults Roscrea, Killaloe 5 Mar 1834 Anne of Michael Gleeson & Anne Tierney (or could be Turney) sponsor Hanna M????, abode Roscrea. This is the copy on the National Library of Ireland website: http://registers.nli.ie/registers/vt...ge/34/mode/1up

You are a genius Kate!
I could not open the ancestry site, but could see the National Library entry which I've saved. I had her as born 1839. I would never have thought to look for any children in Tipperary. I have no other information on Ann, except that she came to Australia, and someone (a distant relative) was looking for her in the newspaper. They had put an ad in the paper for her and her mother. Don't know if she married or not. Notice in Argus February 1866 Miss A Gleeson and Mrs Goring supposed to be resident near Beechworth, are requested to forward their address to John Deering, Argus Office, Collins Street, Melbourne. John Deering married the eldest Gleeson daughter (Mary) What are the chances of finding the other girls' births in Ireland

Still looking.
This is the James Conway / Mary Gleeson marriage record, in case you haven't seen it: http://registers.nli.ie/registers/vt...ge/26/mode/1up 27 May 1849 Drumclift, diocese of Killaloe James Conway Clerk lives in Jail Street Mary Gleeson dealer in bread & teas Jail Street Married in presence of John Morrissy and Margret ?????? Thomas Mahony.

This is still the only likely Catholic baptism I can see for Mary but seems a bit too late if she married in 1849:
18 Apr 1835 Monsea, Tipperary - Mary of Michael and Ann Gleeson, sponsors Connor & Mary Gleeson, abode Ballycommon. That couple also have Cornelius baptised in 1837 and James and Michael both baptised in 1841, so doesn't fit with your family.

This is Eliza's marriage record:
http://registers.nli.ie/registers/vt...ge/50/mode/1up Drumclift 18 Jan 1862 John Deeran to Eliza Gleeson of Ennis in presence of Arthur Connor & Mary Anne Sweeny.

This is an odd one - baptism at Drumclift 27 Nov 1842 Michael, father Michael Gleeson, no mother, sponsors Bridget Considine and Martin Finucane.
http://registers.nli.ie/registers/vt...ge/22/mode/1up Wonder whether "no mother" means she had died in childbirth? (Having had no luck looking for the other girls' baptisms, I'm just looking for Gleesons in Drumclift at the moment.)

This one may or may not be connected:
26 Jan 1866 John Cunningham to Anne Gleeson both of Ennis in presence of Patrick Cunningham and Anne McDonagh. http://registers.nli.ie/registers/vt...ge/56/mode/1up Edit - this couple had children baptised at Drumclift up to 1878 so not your Anne as she was in Australia before 1866 - unless she returned to Ireland.
