Death 12193/1930 OLLIFFE JOSEPH B - JOSEPH B - ANN - RANDWICK * 6 Sep 1930

The Sydney Morning Herald - Mon 8 Sep 1930 p.14
MR. J. B. OLLIFFE.
Mr. Joseph Benjamin Olliffe, who was connected with Tattersall's Club for many years, and who was a member of the Legislative Assembly for a period, died at his residence, Wallangra, Rae-street, Randwick, on Saturday, at the age of 95 years.
Born in Cork, Ireland, Mr. Olliffe came to Australia with his parents at the age of six months. ...

If that is correct then one family arrived about 1835. The other family may have arrived 1848 - 1852.

Joseph Benjamin OLLIFFE & Ann OSBORNE probably married in Ireland.

John OLLIFFE & Ellen OSBORNE probably married in Ireland.

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Val.

The only early birth found so far outside Ireland.

NZ Birth 23 Jan 1849/1729 Oliffe Henry - Ellen - John

 

[DaveHam9]

Something wrong there Val.

... London 5 Jan 1837 – arrived Sydney 12 Feb 1837 - that's not possible.

 

[DaveHam9]

John & Ellen also had sons Thomas and Joseph B before they had B J.

[Bootzy]

sorry dept 1836 arrive 1837...

 

[DaveHam9]

The two main ones my tree really needs but can't be found - births of Thomas and Kate.

Thomas probably born Sydney later in 1837.

Did both or only the John & Ellen family go to NZ?

 

[DaveHam9]

https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/4174002

https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/203147012

Only 5 children in steerage.

https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/232802037

That lists a 6th child. ??

 

[DaveHam9]

John Oliffe, wife, 2 children

Ellen & Thomas ?? or Ellen and one unknown with Thomas born shortly after arrival in NSW in 1837 ?

J Oliffe, wife, 3 children

Marianne Josephine b. abt 1828 Cork
Frances Ellen b. abt 1829 Cork
Joseph Benjamin b. 10 Sep 1835 Cork ?
