William DONOHOE
b. 1834 Liverpool, NSW
m. 10 Jun 1853
Annie's death certificate says the marriage took place in Wangaratta, Vic. but Mary Ann's birth certificate says the marriage took place in NSW. I have not yet located a certificate for the marriage in either state.
Ann REARDON
b. 1824 Liverpool, Eng. ; parents Patrick John REARDON & Mary ?
d. 29 May 1908 Cobar, NSW ; buried Cobar (RC) Cemetery, NSW
m1. 19 Jul 1846 St Francis' (RC) Melbourne, Vic. - William THORPE - 2 children:
i. Annabella THORPE
ii. Henry THORPE
The information about Annie's first marriage was provided by her granddaughter Mary Keelty nee Downey for her death certificate. I have verified the marriage, but have not found the births of the two children or the death of Thorpe if Annie was widowed. The only Ann reardon to arrive in Port Phillip prior to 1846 came aboard the Strathfieldsaye in 1841 as a 21 year old. In fact Ann would have been only 17 years of age in that year, but she may have bumped up her age for the voyage.
