Hi Robyn
My great great grandfather John Guerin married Bridget Agnes Conlon arrived in South Australia on the ship Hooghly in 1846. On the same approval for passage and the same ship were Patrick (married Winifred Mulvihille), Lawrence (married Margaret Larkin) , Catherine ( married James McNamara) and Bridget ( married Joseph O’Brien).
They were all single on arrival in South Australia. Records say they came from Co Clare but we do not know where. It is assumed that they are siblings and that their father was John Guerin. However there is a discrepancy on Bridget and Catherine’s death registrations as to whether their mother was Bridget or Catherine Ryan.
There are several other Guerin families in South Australia namely Michael and Mary nee Ganley who arrived on the Birman with their daughter in 1840. They lived at Bulls Creek as did some of the Hooghly Guerins.
There were also the marine dealer Guerins and the Guerin family who were in the Southeast Zof South Australia descended from 2 brothers John and Michael. One born Shanagolden Co Limerick abd the other Rathkeale Co Limerick.
I am unsure if these families are related.
