Research Notes

Mark Quealy's family records show Patrick’s mother was Mary Carmody not Mary Corcoran (coincidentally his marriage celebrant was Father Pierce Corcoran). No explanation why this conflicting information exists at this stage. St Mary's Tenterfield Parish marriage record records his fathers name only as Maurice Savage, His brother Maurice's (Savage-6279) marriage record confirms parents names as Maurice & Mary Savage with no clue as to Mary's maiden name.

Address for Patrick is shown as Curraheen, Tralee, Kerry which appears to be a little peninsula near Derrymore on googlemaps. No civil birth record prior to 1864. Still needs further research to confirm Patrick's mother was Carmody not Corcoran. Mark Quealy Mary Baaner (his late granddaughter) had no clarity on the Corcoran vs Carmody parentage.

No details are known of his travel from Ireland to Australia. If we can assume he was at least 18, then it would have been between 1870 and his marriage in 1889. Most available manifests are either pre-date his birth or post date his marriage in Australia. There is one record, however, that is possibly for Patrick although it shows him working as part of the crew.^[8] Anderson-23510 17:48, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

Patrick died 10 December 1934 & buried Macquarie Park Cemetery North Ryde NSW Australia after a requiem Mass on Tuesday 11th, Our Lady of Dolours, Ardern St, Chatswood, NSW Australia

Mary Gallaghers written record of family history starts with her great Grandfather Maurice Savage marrying Mary Carmody in 1834 & had son Patrick baptised 8 Sept 1852 & possibly had a son Maurice born 1878 & died 7 January 1972 in Curraheen, who in turn had a son James in Curraheen in 1901. Whilst it is an account without evidence she is adamant that her Great Grandmother is Mary Carmody. Could there have been 2 Mary Carmody's married to a second Maurice Savage around the same time in Curraheen? Mary visited the family farm in Curraheen some years ago. She firmly believes this was where her Grandfather Patrick grew up. The visit was with her late husband Jim who was a thorough researcher.

Another Marriage Certificate NSW BDM 7083 (different number) / 1889 Copy issued 11/10 1988 shows Patrick married Mary A Hawkins

Parish letter issued 18/10/1993 details priest officiating at wedding was Father Pierce Corcoran (Mary Corcoran appears in some documents as Patrick’s mother’s maiden name whilst others show her as Mary Carmody!). Witness Patrick & Maggie Hawkins of Tenterfield. Marriage date 9 January 1889.

Mary Gallagher has a 2003 letter from County Kerry County Archivist, Michael Lynch that shows a Daniel was baptised on 17/3/1855 son of Maurice Savage & Mary Savage (nee Corcoran) from Curraheen. This baptism is 3 years after Patrick & 2 years after Maurice were baptised. Michael suggests that Corcoran is a possible error in transcription. Wiki tree Savage-5441shows Daniel born to a different Mother Mary Savage (nee Carmody) with the same date of birth as this one.

Baptism of Mary Corcoran shows birth date 17 March (St Patricks Day) 1812, Father, Thomas Corcoran; Mother, Ellen Stack, (irishgenealogy.com.ie) if this was found to be Patricks correct Mother she would have been 40 when she gave birth to Patrick, however the family believe Patricks Mother was Mary Carmody (no supporting evidence yet).

Patrick Savage birth church records (irish genealogy.com.ie) show sponsor is Thomas Savage. A Thomas Savage of Killury (26 kilometres from Curraheen) married Margaret Carmody on 18 December 1819. A long bow to draw but he could fit the time line as the sponsor at Patricks baptism 23 years later.

Visited Parish Priest, Father Barry Leech, 73 Miles St Tenterfield on 12 July 2022. Church Marriage Register held @ St Mary’s Presbytery: Savage Patrick Married Hawkins Mary Ann, both residents in Tenterfield, married 9 January 1889, no dispensation required, Celebrant Fr. Pierce Corcoran [see Wikitree Corcoran-2198], parents Maurice Savage (County Kerry) & Patrick Hawkins (Tenterfield) Witness: Patrick Hawkins & Maggie Hawkins both of Tenterfield. Original stone chapel (now known as St Mary's Hall & constructed 1867 by McGauran Brothers with stone from Stoney Creek) that Patrick & Anne were wed in is still in remarkable condition next to the newer church which was built in 1940 to accomodate a surge in parishioners

Many splendid buildings exist in Tenterfield that were built in 1880’s suggesting a boom at the time. The year Patrick & Mary Ann married was the same year that Henry Parkes made his famous speech as a member for Tenterfield in which he proposed a uniting of the states to form a Nation, this vision was enacted 12 years later in 1901 to form Australia as a nation. Historic Stannum House built in 1888 by wealthy tin miner John Holmes Reid was built with the idea that it would be a premier contender for being the home of a proposed leader of the much talked about Federal Capital of Australia. It is now a magnificent guest-house & restaurant
