Extract from Book

John Kelleher and Mary Leahy and their descendants – Liverpool and Muswellbrook

John Kelleher, son of Patrick and Margaret, was born in County Clare, Ireland in 1835. In 1872 he was living in Muswellbrook, having been married to Mary Leahy for 15 years. Mary Leahy had been born in County Clare in 1837. John and Mary had been married in Sydney in 1857. John was not listed in Greville’s Directory. On his death certificate John’s occupation is listed as labourer. Muswellbrook, a Post Town in the Hunter Valley, was located 152 miles (243 kilometres) north west of Sydney. Muswellbrook was connected to Sydney by rail between Muswellbrook and Newcastle and by steamship between Newcastle and Sydney.

John’s and Mary’s eldest child, born at Liverpool, was 14 in 1872. Their youngest child was born at Muswellbrook in 1872. In 1872 John and Mary had eight children: Ann, Patrick and John, born at Liverpool; and William, Elizabeth, Margaret, Maurice and Edward, born at Muswellbrook. A further five children, Frederick, Ellen, May, James and Frank, were born at Muswellbrook between 1874 and 1881. Some of John’s and Mary’s children retained their links with Liverpool: Edward and Ellen were married at Liverpool in 1895 and 1897, and May and Frank were buried there in 1914 and 1915. John, who died in 1897, and Mary, who died in 1914, are both buried at Muswellbrook.[2]
