TIMOTHY 2 MCCORMACK (TIMOTHY 1) was born Abt. 1800 in Cooleeny Templetuohy Tipperary IRELAND, and died in before 1856. He married CATHERINE BANNON 1835 in Templetuohy Tipperary IRELAND, daughter of HUGH BANNON and BRIDGET MOCKLER. She was born 1808 in Thurles Co Tipperary Ireland, and died 20 Oct 1884 in Lost River. TIMOTHY MCCORMACK: The McCormack family (frequently called simply Cormack in Irish records) originally came from the townland of Cooleeny, near Templetuohy, County Tipperary, Ireland. Timothy Cormack (born about 1733 and died 11 May 1794) was the father of Thomas Cormack who married Cath née Dempsey. Thomas Cormack and Cath née Dempsey had a son Timothy as well as three daughters, Judith born 1810; Catty born 1811; and Catherine born 1815. By 1827 Thomas Cormack was the holder of land in the townland of Graiguefrahane, in the civil parish of Loughmore East, County Tipperary. On 25 February 1835 Timothy Cormack, the son of Thomas Cormack and Cath née Dempsey, married Catherine Bannon in the parish of Holycross, County Tipperary. The witnesses to the wedding were Hugh Bannon and Denis Bannon. Catherine Bannon had been born about 1808. She was the daughter of Hugh Bannon (died 9 November 1857, aged 79, and buried Ballycahill) and Bridget née Mockler (died 1 June 1852, aged 76, and buried Ballycahill). Catherine's place of birth was probably Ballycahill, a small village in the parish of Holycross. Catherine, widow of Timothy McCormack arrived in Sydney with 6 children on the ship 'Harkaway' on 23rd February 1855 and settled at 'Red Hill' Wheeo. Timothy Cormack and Catherine nee Bannon had eight children, all born at Loughmore. In 1851 Catherine Cormack née Bannon was residing in the townland of Graiguefrahane, Loughmore East. Her husband Timothy does not appear and so presumably Catherine was a widow by this stage. About 1854 Catherine Cormack née Bannon and her six surviving children migrated to Sydney. CATHERINE BANNON: Catherine, widow of Timothy McCormack arrived in Sydney with their 6 children on the ship "Harkaway " on 23rd February 1855 and settled at 'Red Hill' Wheeo. Life in Australia: The McCormack’s settled first at Menangle where there was a large Irish community. The pisé home of the McCormack’s was near where the rotolactor later was located, north of the village of Menangle, south of the Nepean River and west of where the Main Southern Railway later ran. The land that the McCormack’s were on was therefore probably part of the Camden Park Estate owned by the Macarthur family. Catherine Bannon had been born about 1808. She was the daughter of Hugh Bannon (who died 9 November 1857, aged 79, and buried Ballycahill) and Bridget née Mockler (who died 1 June 1852, aged 76, and buried Ballycahill). Catherine's place of birth was probably Ballycahill, a small village in the parish of Holycross. Timothy Cormack and Catherine nee Bannon had eight children, all born at Loughmore. In 1851 Catherine Cormack née Bannon was residing in the townland of Graiguefrahane, Loughmore East. Her husband Timothy does not appear and so presumably Catherine was a widow by this stage. About 1854 Catherine Cormack née Bannon and her six surviving children migrated to Sydney. In 1861 the New South Wales Parliament passed the Crown Lands Act which allowed colonists to select for themselves land in quantities not less than 40 nor more than 320 acres, at the fixed price of 20 shillings an acre. The McCormack family, except for Bridget whose husband worked on the railways, then moved to the Crookwell area where, in 1863, Hugh McCormack selected land. Hugh's brothers later also acquired land. On 20 October 1884 Catherine McCormack nee Bannon died at Lost River, near Crookwell. At the time of her death she was housekeeping for the widow and children of her son Timothy (who had died in 1882). Children of TIMOTHY MCCORMACK and CATHERINE BANNON are: i.
