Biography

Ireland Native
Ellen (Kelleher) Hannan was born in Ireland.

Ellen was born in 1833. She died in 1915.

In 1872 my great-grandparents, John Hannan and Ellen Kelleher, had been married 20 years, having been married at Liverpool, NSW in 1852. John had been born in County Leitrim, Ireland about 1820 and Ellen had been born in County Clare in 1833. Ellen had arrived in Australia on the Sir Edward Parry in 1848 with her brother, Michael, and her sister, Anne, being reunited with her parents and other siblings who arrived on the Ayrshire in 1841. Caroline Chisholm played an important role in reuniting Ellen, Michael and Anne with their family as she did in many other cases. John and Ellen had been living since 1855 at Mutbilly, a small settlement on the Breadalbane Plains, midway between Gunning and Goulburn, on the Southern Tablelands of NSW. Goulburn is located 128 miles (205 kilometres) south west of Sydney; Gunning is about 30 miles (48 kilometres) west of Goulburn. In 1872 John's and Ellen's eldest child was 17 and their youngest was born in 1872. Nine children, Patrick, John, Frank, Elizabeth, Ellen, Myles, Mary, William and Christina, had been born at Mutbilly since 1855; a further child, Ned, was born at Mutbilly in 1875. St Brigid's Church at Mutbilly had been built by Father McAlroy in 1865 on land owned by John Hannan, as recorded in the obituary for John's wife, Ellen, in 1915. In 1872 Father Michael McAlroy was living at Olive St, Albury, according to Greville's Directory. The churchyard had not been established in 1862 when John's and Ellen's daughter, Elizabeth, had died at the age of 20 months, so Elizabeth was buried at Goulburn.

The railway was now operational between Sydney and Goulburn, but had not been extended to Gunning. A mail coach operated by Cobb and Co. ran six days a week between Goulburn and Yass and called at Mutbilly at 2:45am from Goulburn, and 8 am from Yass, as recorded in Greville's Directory. Yass is located 23 miles (37 kilometres) west of Gunning.

Obituary

Mrs. Ellen Hannan, of Sweetwood Lea, Breadalbane, widow of the late Mr. John Hannan, died at her late residence at six o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. The old lady had for some time been in failing health through advancing years. Mrs. Hannan, who was born in Ireland, came to N.S.W. when a young girl. She had resided at Breadalbane for about 60 years, and was one of the old pioneers who have done so much for this country. She was widely known and respected, and her hospitality was renowned throughout the countryside. Her husband predeceased her by twenty two years. Four sons and three daughters survive. The sons are Messrs. Patrick (Breadalbane). John (Rankin's Springs), Frank (Cullarin), and Myles B. (Breadalbane). Mr. Myles Hannan, who is president of the Gunning Shire Council, has been managing his mother's estate since his father's death. The daughters are Mrs. P. Byrne, Bungendore, Mrs. Eveston, Cullarin (widow of the late Mr. C. F. Eveston), and Mrs. Myles O'Reilly (Cobargo). The funeral takes place at 2 o'clock this (Thursday) afternoon, the remains being interred in the Catholic cemetery, Breadalbane. [1]
