John was born in Temple Patrick, Westmeath in 1819 and Sarah in Forgney, Longford in 1816. They emigrated to Sydney Australia as bounty immigrants in 1841 and, as far as I can tell, settled in Redfern in Sydney. John described himself as a ploughman. Sarah was a cook. From this point they sort of disappear.<br />John died in 1860 in Sydney I think although there was an alternative outside Sydney. Sarah died at her home in 1881 at Darlington Sydney [residence Cleveland and Eveleigh Streets]. <br />I thinbk there may have been a connection with Stephen Conlon who lived at Ultimo Sydney. He was a lawyer. Apparently John's family was not well off so this may be unlikely. And of course John is such a common name. It would be great if anyone has any further information on this family. Thanks for reading.

However As I am a newcomer to Family history, I have now been able to get some scant information.<br /> <br />I am Ellen Catherine Conlon’s granddaughter. Ellen(1875 -1948) is the 3rd daughter of Ann Conlon (Alleyne, previously Walker)<br /><br />Ann was 27years old when Ellen was born in 1875,( having married John Joseph Conlon in August 1873 in St. Patrick Cathedral, Sydney. (Her first husband Charles \Walker died in 1867)<br /><br />It would be lovely if anyone has any information of Ellen before she marries my Grandfather Michael Minogue in 1914, July 11 in Hay, NSW)at the age of 37. She already had one son John Bede Conlon 1911 -19 (father unknown ) as not listed on his birth certificate). There is nothing that I have found about her from the time of her birth until she get married. A hiatus of 37 years. Her occupation on the marriage certificate is listed as Domestic, which was a common occupation at that time. But where she lived and worked is un known to me.<br /><br />Love to chat re any information.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />helen broderickNelliebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03793153409395035177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2218919218074623096.post-35245985594528669062018-11-22T04:27:47.500-05:002018-11-22T04:27:47.500-05:00Hi,

My mother's maiden name was Doherty and my Grandmother Catherine Conlon was Albert's daughter. This is the second daughter you mention. The first daughter was known as Nance or Aunty Nance as I knew her. <br /><br />The close deaths of Albert's son (the family knew him as Richard or Dick) and Kitty are familiar family stories. Sadly Albert Richard was attending his mother's funeral at the time little Albert was killed so he had three close family deaths to deal with all at once.<br /><br />I have also contacted Geoff Ibbett about Albert Richard's union and league career. For the information of others on this blog when I asked my Aunty Carmel Doherty about her Grandpa's football career this is how she replied - 'Grandpa Conlon (Albert Richard Conlon) toured New Zealand with Rugby Union players prior to his touring England, 1908, with League players'.<br /><br />I've been researching my family history while I'm based in Galway for several months. Does anyone on this site have information about which county Patrick Conlon (John Joseph Conlon's father and Albert's grandfather)came from? <br /><br />My family thinks that John Joseph was born in Australia and that his father Patrick Conlon and mother Catherine Lowry married in Kinvara in 1824 and that his father and mother were Malachi Conlon and Mary O'Brien. However, I am having trouble tracking them while I'm here in Galway.<br /><br />My email address is catherine.manathunga@vu.edu.au<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />CatherineAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02884466724768959616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2218919218074623096.post-204318035727924362016-09-24T02:05:16.524-04:002016-09-24T02:05:16.524-04:00Hello Matt,

Albert and Kitty's son Albert died after being kicked by a horse in March 1910 and Kitty died shortly afterwards in Oct 1910. Albert Jr is in the large plot in Catholic mortuary 1 at Rookwood near the chapel. Whie Kitty is in an unmarked grave in the Catholic Mortuary 2.

I'm completely rewriting the history of the club and clarifying a lot of anomalies in the records. Your ancestor Albert Conlon was an important player in the early history of Rugby League. He played for Glebe from 1908-11 and actually played against Wests in the second round in 1908. He was also a representative player for NSW and played three times for Australia. The problem I am trying to solve is this; I'm sure that he played nine games for Western Suburbs in 1912 at the end of his career and A Conlon is listed at centre as playing in Round 2 against Eastern Suburbs. However, he is also list as A Conlin in other matches and this has led to considerable confusion in numerous reference books on Rugby League. This is because Arthur Conlin was also a significant player for South Sydney in 1908-11. Some reference books have the record of both players as having played for Wests in 1912 but this is obviously incorrect. I believe it is Albert Conlon who played but there is no corroborating evidence so far. I wonder if you have any definitive evidence in your records or could put me in touch with any relatives who could clarify the situation. I would, of course, be eternally grateful.
