The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954), Tuesday 25 February 1896, page SWEENEY. SWEENEY-June 26th, at his residence, Kent and Liverpool Streets, after a long and painful illness, Terence Sweeney, aged 50 years, leaving a wife and 3 children to lament their loss. The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954), Wednesday 14 July 1869, page 8 The following notices appeared in local newspapers:. He was buried on 27 June 1869 in the Catholic Section of Rookwood Cemetery with his wife and son James. It appears however that he died later that year, after a long and painful illness. Terence appears in the 1869 Sands Directory living at 579 Kent St, Sydney listed as a dealer. It is not known if he is a friend or relation, or together by chance (If you know the answer to this question, please contact Veronica Williams). Another Australian is with them in San Francisco, George Phillips. The couple must have returned to Australia by 1854, when their son James was born. Their daughter Mary had died in abt 1845, but it is not known what became of Henry. They are found living in San Francisco with son Terence, now 4 and baby James, aged 4 months, born in California. It appears that sometime after the birth of Terence in 1848, the couple travelled to the United States. According to the NSW birth index the couple had three children in New South Wales, Henry, Mary and Terence. The Australian marriage index suggests Terence's wife is named Anne DOWEN but the name Anne DUAN is clearly stated on the marriage certificate. Interestingly, he also later became involved in the hotel business in the 1850s, similar to Terence. James CHRISTIAN (according to a story on an Ancestry FamilyTree) came to Sydney from Enniscorthy as well and was living in Liverpool New South Wales in 1841 so he could easily have been witness to Terence and Anne's wedding. Eliza HALL came out on the same ship as Anne DUAN, the Isabella. It would appear both were from Ennicorthy, Wexford. Witnesses to the marriage were James Christian and Eliza Hall who don't appear to be relatives of either of the couple. On 10th Oct 1841 Terence and Anne DUAN were married in St Patricks Cathedral at Parramatta by Minister Joseph Platt, of Parramatta, presumably they met through both working for Mr Marshall. Even though the RC parish "boundary" would seem to place Clooney and Moyriesk townlands in different parishes, the Clooney church is much closer to Moyriesk than the "proper" churches of Doora parish." So, given the information supplied by his sister Mary, it is highly likely for the place he refers to actually be Clooney. And this village is the location of an RC church. In fact, the townland of Clooney has a more than mile-long common border with Moyriesk and the village of Clooney - at the northern end of Clooney townland - is still less than a mile from Moyriesk. Clooney is the parish adjacent to Doora, and the parish containing that small part of Moyriesk. Pete Schermerhorn has advised that "Firstly.both Clon- and Cloon- have the same source, i.e., cluain, which is Irish for several things but usually for a meadow or pasture/grassy area. His sister Mary states she is from Moyriesk a townland in County Clare. Clones is actually in County Monaghan so it is likely there is a transcription error and the town he is actually referring to is something with a similiar name in County Clare. Terence states in the shipping indents that he is a native of Clones, County Clare. Roman Catholic and was able to read and write. Bodily health, strength, and probable usefulness also stated as good. His character was certified as good, by persons in County Cork.
