    Default Bridget O'Hare - county Down Ireland

    Good afternoon everyone,
    hope you all are okay with the current health crisis.

    I dont know if this is the right forum, but here goes.

    trying to verify birth of:

    Bridget O'Hare/O'Hair born 1835 County Down, Ireland.
    father: Francis O'Hare and mother Sarah Cotin.

    Bridget emigrated to South Australia. married Carl Christian Gottfried Reichel 1857 South Australia. died 1895 South Australia.

    I found (but not confirmed) siblings:
    Michael O'Hare, Matthew O'Hare ( as per a newspaper advertisement in Victoria Australia looking for their sister Bridget).

    I have tried family search, irish.ie. but no luck.
    thanking you in advance.

    Here’s a link to the 1843 marriage. Witnesses were Mathew Macken & Mary O’Hare.

    Possible death for Frances in 1885. Wife Sarah was the informant.

    Dear Bess
    dont really know if Sarah Cotton/Cotin is Bridgets mothers. just took a guess re Armagh, county down. with father Francis. on Bridget's marriage cert is only states father Francis. no mother listed.
    on her death. no parents listed.
    newspaper artile ADelaide 1858, November 22.
    "Bridget O''Hare, from Armagh, now married to Charles Reichel, from Germany, may hear of her brothers Matthew and Michael, by applying at Hunts Labour Office."Doreenh

    Arrived Friday 28 January.....the ship "North"....from Liverpool November 1st....

    .......Margaret, Henry, Matthew, and Michael O'HANE........

    BRIDGET O'HARE, from Armagh, now married to Charles RITCHEL, from Germany, may
    hear of her brothers Matthew and Michael, by applying at Hunt's Labour Office.


    Adelaide Observer 19 May 1860 p 4
    https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/158175076?
    Before Mr. Justice Boothby
    Stealing from the person Francis BROWN, a coloured girl, aged 19, charged with
    stealing £1 from the person of Matthew O'HARE, at Adelaide, on the 28th February, was placed at the bar.

    If the arrivals on the "North" in Jan 1859 are your O'HARE family, it would fit with the newspaper notice a week later.

    If you are seeing this notice in a South Australian newspaper, November 22 1858, then the arrivals on the "North", January 1859 are not your family.

    What newspaper has the notice, November 1858?

    If this is your O'HARE family -
    ...Margaret, Henry, Matthew and Michael......

    Matthew and Michael are brothers. Are Margaret and Henry two more siblings, or, is this brother Henry and his wife Margaret?

    Marriage certificate, 1857,....what names do you see for witnesses. Does Bridget sign the register or use her mark?
