John James McMahon married Elizabeth Geaharty

Question

Does anyone have information on John James McMahon? He died in South Australia and married Elizabeth Geaharty in 1874. Their children were Ellen, James, John and Edward.

Elizabeth re married in 1884 to Patrick Richard Neylon (a school teacher).

John must have died between 1878-1884

I have no information on where he was born, what date and who his parents were. If someone had information please help

I looked for an index to his death on http://www.genealogysa.org.au/resources/online-databases.html thinking that you might find information on his parents from a death certificate. There isn't a John James, but here is a list of the McMahon's starting with "J".

Is there anything on his marriage certificate to indicate who he was and where he came from?

This website also has marriage indices and John married Elizabeth Geharty in 1874 in Burra district.

Have you looked through TROVE for any more details?

Rosemary, He is the one who died in 1881. He was thrown off his horse. If you could look at it and tell me the names of parents and DoB it would be fantastic!

I believe he was born in Ireland. I used trove to find out his date of death which was Feb 3 1881
