Susannah Nolan, b. 14-Nov-1854, Williams River, NSW;
m. Thomas CAVANAGH, a farmer from Cowper, in 1878 in St Mary's RC church, Grafton, NSW; One of the marriage witnesses was Susannah's sister, Rosanna.
Sometime before 1849 Thomas' father, Edward Cavanagh, b. 1803 in Ireland, was accused of sheep-stealing in Co. Wexford and sentenced to 7 years transportation arriving in Australia in 1849 on the 'Havering'. Thomas' mother, Catherine, born 1813 in Co. Wicklow followed 4 years bringing with her Thomas and two siblings James and Sarah, all born in Parkmore, Co. Wicklow, according to the immigration document. Thomas' parents settled in Clarence River, close to the Grafton/Maitland area and, sometime around 1881 moved to the Ulmarra area. In 1916, during the First World War, Thomas and Susan seem to have been living in Grafton proper, on Queen street. In 1920, when Thomas died in Brisbane, it is likely that he and Susan lived with their daughter Catherine at the corner of Water and Hipwood streets. This is where we find Susan, in 1925, helping with 'home duties', according to the electoral role. It is also likely that she was still living there when she died in Brisbane on November 29, 1927.
