Family history from his nephew Richard Savage (deceased) suggests Maurice emigrated from Ireland with his brother Patrick. Both brothers got married in Tenterfield NSW around the same time.

Baptism of a Maurice Savage of Tralee on 28 August 1853 (however this doesn’t fit his death date in 1939 aged 82 which calculates a birth year about 4 years later in 1857) shows Father Maurice Savage & Mother Margaret Hanafin, Sponsors Denis Hanafin & Mary Murphy Priest Rev. T Cavanagh. Maurice & Margaret (nee Hanafin) also show baptisms for Elizabeth 4 November 1850; & Margaret born 12 December 1860, baptised 2 days later on 14 Dec. 1860. irishgenealogy.ie KY-RC-BA475999.

I can't find any other records for Maurice Savage born to the same mother as my Great Grandfather, if anything this Maurice could be a cousin, however he is born within a year of Patrick so could be the brother as our family believes with a mis-recorded Mothers name, so confusing!
