1854 Haughey – Co. Fermanagh, Ireland

Susan (Shannon) Murray’s second sister emigrated with her family, on the ‘SWITZERLAND’ arriving in Sydney on 16 June 1854. Thus four families.In the Immigration Agent list [1] Margaret recorded her name as Houghey and her parents as Phillip and Mary Shannon. She declared that she was “…the sister of Mrs Murray in Ulladulla NSW”.  It is interesting to note blacksmith as the trade qualifications of John and Thomas as our (inconclusive) research in Griffiths Valuations has Susan (Shannon) Murray’s father as a blacksmith in Fermanagh. The record on Reel 2467 adds the words “or policeman” under Thomas’ calling. John Haughey’s parents, Francis and Rosa were listed as “both dead”. on website

The family appeared to settle in Murrumburrah, where the name is ubiquitous, though Margaret apparently died in Ulladulla as she is buried in the Armstrong Forest Cemetery.

Rose (Haughey) Dillon b. 1834, the married daughter above, was married to John Bernard Dillon b. 1832[2].DILLON, John Bernard (1828 -1884). Arr NSW late 1850s, Murrumburrah from 1860.  His wife, Rose Anne (Haughey) Dillon (1834 – 1919) arrived with her parents and siblings on the “Switzerland” 1854. First to Milton NSW where her relatives from Murray, Shannon, McGee, Johnston and Haughey families had settled. The Dillon link is part of this extended Fermanagh family emigration story I am developing. Her husdband arrived in  NSW on the “BEE” in 1856.. He died in Binalong on April 18 1884, when his stated age was 54[3] (i.e b.1830). It may be that a relative (brother?) was in Binalong along with John Bernard as Bridget and Thomas had a child, George, there in 1862.

This is an early stage of research. Hopefully, others might contribute. In the meantime I list below the Tree so far as is present developed.
