Hi Kerri

We are still looking for some more photos. We dont have too many of the house but we will send what we have. My mum still has a letter written by your Grandmother. If you can give me your email address I will scan the photos and attach them as a jpeg so you can print them. Give our love to your Grandmother Irene & Trevor are sad to hear of her illness.

Thanks
Kerrie

Hi Kerrie,
Thankyou so much! I really appreciate the effort. I cant believe my grandmother doesnt have photos. The timing is perfect (well probably not the best word), my grandmother has been diagnosed with liver/lung cancer and is rapidly feeling worse. I am sure she would love to see some photos if you have them. Do you need any further info? Say thanks to your dad, my grandma still speaks fondly of him.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Kerri Longton

No the Toohey family I am referring to comes from Nth Queensland. Greenslopes is a name of a farm located at Officer. (A small town East of Berwick in Melbourne)that Trevor Toohey owned. The query come from a grand daughter of people who rented the farm from my father.

I haven't heard those names mentioned in our family tree but we don't know who came with James Toohey on his voyage etc in 1790...there was so many that left Ireland about that time and beyond. we are connected to James Toohey and his wife was a sullivan...9 children...
the eldest boy came to NZ and stayed down in Hokitika til he died..all the Tooheys in NZ are related to Cornelius Toohey...

Re: Toohey family in Melbourne and New Zealand

JaniceSmith1951 — 2009-06-30 03:09:37Z

Hi re the Tooheys of Melbourne...we are related to the eldest boy Cornelius Toohey from James Toohey and Ann Sullivan..they had 9 children...we don't know how many brothers or cousins that James may have been with him on his sailing ship voyage etc...but they are mainly from that area..so many tooheys left Ireland before the potato famine luckily in our family..1790 ish...James was a crewman on the Agostina sailing ship that landed in Melbourne.
Cornelius came to NZ in the gold mining days and we are all related to him in NZ..one child from Australia the rest stayed in Australia...we have found some of them .

Hello,
My name is Kerri Longton (nee Thornton) and my grandparents Roy and Iris Thornton lived on Trevor Tooheys farm, Greenslopes in Officer, about thirty years ago until my grandfather passed away. I am desperately looking for photos of the property as a present for my brother as it was a wonderful place to visit as we were growing up. My grandmother links the house to Trevor Toohey and wondering if any family members have any photos. Even the name of the real estate agent at the sale of the property about 10-12 years ago would be of help.
Thanks

Re: Please,Need help on Michael Toohey from Cork, Ireland, b.circa 1809 im.to Ky.circa 1860

DeniseTurner45 — 2009-04-08 03:24:09Z

Also I should add that my great grandfather was Dan Toohey from Cave City. All the names you gave me coincide with what I have also. I will add that I was stumped upon looking on the ships roster for a Bridget and Michael Toohey that had two children with them. Since their daughter stayed over in Ire. that would explain why there were not two children aboard only their son Hugh.

Re: Please,Need help on Michael Toohey from Cork, Ireland, b.circa 1809 im.to Ky.circa 1860

DeniseTurner45 — 2009-04-08 03:17:05Z

What exactly do you need? I have nothing before Michael and Bridget came to the USA but I have a whole host of info once they were here. My Mom put a book together in 1993 on the Tooheys in Cave City. So if you need anything after they came over I can help somewhat.

Re: Toohey family from Ireland to Canada

Glenn_Couch — 2009-04-07 17:24:42Z

I just found two newspaper clippings from August 1921 that my mother had cut from the newspaper concerning the drownings of Timothy Toohey and four of his children. They farmed near Lombardy Ontario. Not sure if they are part of your family.
If you want to give me your email address I will try and scan these and send them on to you.

I need any info available on My great-great-great-grandfather Michael Toohey born circa 1809 in Ireland. Married Bridget(maiden name unknown) in Ireland. One KNOWN son, Hugh Toohey born May 6, 1845 in Ireland. Immigrated circa 1855-60, to USA. Worked building Louisville-Nashville railroad. Moved to Cave City, Ky. I don't know for sure where in Ireland he really originated. Family lore says He and Bridget and Hugh took ship from Cork, and that there was a married daughter left behind in Ireland. This is all I have. Please help if you can.

Thanks for you reply
Since posting message found that Patrick b 1835 eventually settled in Butte Montana - the family story I was working on was somewhat confused. I am still looking for Patrick his son b. 1871 also in Holycross Tipperary and whom I think moved to PA c. 1900. At present there seems to be no connection with your line.

Hi Janice,
I don't know if Patrick Sullivan is Ann's brother or not. I did read that there was a family of Sullivan's who were farmers around the Nepean Pennsula. In fact there is a "Sullivan's Bay" down near Dromana isn't there. I also don't know if Patrick is related to them.

I just hoped that someone who has a Patrick Sullivan in their family may know something of William Cannon. I realise that 1850 is a long way back....
Cheers

Hi I am related to James Toohey and Ann Sullivan
I am wondering if her brother is the person you are looking for.
We didn't know she had a brother who came with her on the ship to Port Philip bay you might be able to enlighten us too.
all the Tooheys in NZ are related to James Toohey in Melbourne.. My parent Vern and Francie died in August on 2nd Aug and 11th Aug. We are still recovering from their sudden deaths..Janice

Re: Toohey family in Melbourne and New Zealand

2006-11-29 03:52:32Z

Hi Matthew,
Wondering if you have any extra info on the Patrick Sullivan.
I have seen that Patrick Sullivan was into limeburning on the shores of Port Phillip Bay around 1850. He also had a partner, William Cannon. This William married into my relatives and I am looking for info on him and when he came to Port Phillip District, etc..
Do you know anyone who may be researching Patrick Sullivan which may lead to someone else or some news about Cannon.

POW/MIA Korean War, TOOHEY

powmiadna — 2008-08-13 21:15:21Z

I am searching for the family of a soldier who was killed in the Korea War. When he entered service he gave Wayne County, Michigan as his home of record. His remains were never recovered.

Soldier: JOSEPH RONALD TOOHEY
Born: July 17, 1931 Caucasian
Date of loss: September 26, 1950 KIA
Service # 16267588
E Co 32nd Inf Rgt, 7th Inf Division

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. The Toohey family is one of those missing.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.

Hi I aso have a Toohey in my family tree. I dont realy have much information but my great great grandmother was Mary Toohey she married Daniel Delaney they had a daughter Mary Kate Delaney (she was born 1885 in Offaly next County to Tipp). My guess would be that her Mother (Mary Toohey) was born 1845 - 1865 (dont know if they had any other children as I have only recently found the name Toohey in my family tree).
