Martha & Samuel's Grave at Rookwood Cemetery
Martha HANNAGAN (HARRINGTON) was born in 1807 (calculated) in Belfast, Antrim, Ireland. On 26 March 1826 she was described as height 5' 0"; ruddy to fair complexion; dark brown hair and hazel eyes; raised mole on corner of right eye and a hairy mole on the right cheek. She was a follower of the Catholic religion.
She immigrated to Sydney, NSW, Australia from Cork, Ireland arriving on 2 February 1827. She was transported to Australia for 7 years for shoplifting having been convicted in Northern Ireland on 26 March 1826. She came to Australia on the ship "The Brothers" which departed on 3 Oct 1826.
She married Samuel HILL on 2 June 1828 at Cathedral Church of St John in Parramatta, NSW, Australia. Being a convict, she was married with the Governor's approval.
Martha and Samuel were co-resident at 3 Albert St in Parramatta. Little is known about their life with the exception that they probably lived a substantial part of it here.
Martha died on 20 November 1891 at 3 Albert St Parramatta from Debility; Duration 6 months; the Medical Attendant was Jas KEARNEY who last saw her on 19 Nov 1891. She was buried on 22 November 1891 in the Old Church of England Section in Rookwood (Cemetery), NSW, Australia.
Martha has generally been known as HARRINGTON/HANNAGAN, as per the convict records, marriage certificates, etc. However on her death certificate, her eldest son George, then aged 54, indicates that her father's name was HANNAGAN. On this basis, she is recorded here as HANNAGAN/HARRINGTON and the name HANNAGAN has been assigned to her father. It should also be noted that on her daughter Elizabeth Mary JONES nee HILL's death certificate, her name is shown as Martha BROWN by Elizabeth's grand-daughter Martha MORGAN but this is probably incorrect.
Samuel HILL (known as 'Sam') was the son of John HILL ( - ) and Susannah SAVERRY ( - ).
