[NI0055] JOHANNA DELANEY Johanna Delaney was born in 1877 at Nirranda, being the ninth child of Pat rick Delaney and Ellen Kilmartin. She attended school at Nirranda, afterwa rds living at home and being handy in the kitchen and helping on the far m. There was no place for idle hands because there was a family of twel ve to which to attend. As well there was always the arrival of more childr en in the various families which needed care and attention or, in tim es of sorrow, help had to be given. When Margaret (Burns) Delaney died, Jo hanna travelled to Millicent, South Australia, staying several months whi le attending to his family. Again, when Peter moved to South Morang, Johan na spent time with him and the boys. However she participated in the social life of Nirranda, attending the oft enoccurring dances and balls and was reputed to be a competent horsewom an able to manage both the saddle and the buggy reins. At age 37 in I 915 she married Frederick James Phillips, he being bo rn in 1883 at Penshurst. They moved to the much-needed occupation of the d ay, that of sharefarming, and spent some time on James Anderson's fa rm at Allans Forest in Mepunga. They lived in various houses in the distri ct and Fred worked for a Mr.Devenish who had the general store at Allansfo rd. They came to Warrnambool where they bought a little grocery store in L ava Street. This was not a very profitable venture and in 1 923 they mov ed to the house in Redford Street. Fred took up work in the town obtaining seasonal employment at Nestles. Ho wever, with the onset of the Depression, he went wood-cutting at Naringal rather than acce pting the dole. Johanna helped the family by doing domestic work, notably for the nu ns at St. Ann's. Eventually Fred began work at Younger's Department Store until he retir ed at the age of 72. Their Redford Street home was a gathering place for relatives from both si des, Delaneys from Bushfield, Ellerslie and Nirranda, Murnanes from Dennin gton, Lyons from Kirkstall, Farrells from Terang, various Tolemans, Slatte rys, Morgans and the Bonnetts from Mepunga. All called in from time to ti me but notably at Warmambool Show time. Due to these visits Johanna was ab le to keep up with the news from all branches of the family. Fred and Johanna had four children as follows- Mary, Kathleen, Eileen a nd John (Jack). As was the custom, each was born in a private hospit al in Warrnambool, for example, Mary at Nurse Thompson's in Raglan Para de and Jack at Sister Ingpen's in Banyan Street. Throughout her life Johanna took her religion seriously and participat ed in the social events at St. Joseph's, notably the Sunday night cards. H owever, poor health in her later years kept her confined to her home and s he died in her 87th year. Fred had predeceased her in 1959. Both are buri ed in the Warrnambool cemetery.

[NI0040] Getting to Australia and the Early Years The Cyprus, a brig of some 258 tons, anchored at Belfast (now Port Fair y) on 15th January 1855, with her cargo and crew, and nine passengers, a M r. Edward Jarrett and the Delaney family from Ireland, John and Bridget De laney and their six children. Patrick was 13, Catherine was 12, Margaret w as 11, Mary was 9, Ellen was 3, and John was 2. Their first glimpses of Belfast was of a town with some 2000 people, and v erging on becoming a municipality. The jetty was crammed with warehouse s, and the town presented a substantial appearance. The Delaney family we re most likely housed at Belfast East, an "old boiling down works", then u sed for new arrivals. The new Immigration Barracks were built that year. H owever, their stay was very short, as on 20th January 1855, the newspap er "Banner of Belfast "recorded that John Delaney, his wife and six childr en were aboard the schooner Elizabeth, to continue their journey to Warrna mbool. Both The Cyprus and Elizabeth belonged to the chartered fleet of Wi lliam Rutledge & Co., Merchants of Port Fairy. Warrnambool would have appeared as very similar to Belfast, as the populat ion was about the same. Family legend claims that Thomas Delaney had assisted his brother with pay ment of the family¿s passage to Australia. We will never know for sure. Th omas was not a wealthy man, farming was a hard life, and money was not eas ily accumulated. We do know that William Rutledge was a most vociferous ad vocate for an immigration scheme from Britain, directly to Port Fairy. May be the fare was at a minimum cost, and between the brothers, they manag ed to pay the fare. It was not unknown for Rutledge to transport Irish imm igrants, at his own cost, particularly on his cargo ships, which already p aid their way. The reunion with kinfolk after fifteen years was very comforting. John a nd Bridget, initially settled near Thomas and his family, on the Merri Riv er at Dennington. The land in this area was solely agricultural: wheat a nd potatoes. The tenants lived at spots convenient to access the leased al lotments, as the farming land was very valuable. Just a little over a year after the arrival of the John Delaney family, Th omas purchased allotment 15, section 3, of the town lots in the Pari sh of Wangoom, County of Villiers, Dennington. The land was at the Pun t, on the Merri River, near Warrnambool and towards Belfast (Warrnambool E xaminer, 14th March 1856). Thomas was involved in public life, as in July of this year, we find him c ollecting subscriptions for the Duffy Qualification Fund. Charles Gavan Du ffy, an Irishman, was returned as a representative for the County of Villi ers and Heytesbury in the Victorian Government in September. In 1862, Duf fy served as Minister in charge of the Lands Department. Duffy was instrum ental in a new Land Act being passed, enabling settlers to buy good la nd at a low price. In 1856, another son, Thomas, was born to John and Bridget. The family wit nessed the opening of the first bridge over the Merri River, in June 185 7. The ever-increasing heavy traffic used the bridge to bring produce to t he Port of Warrnambool. Both families worked very hard. Warrnambool was barely three miles away, a nd was the town to where they journeyed, for supplies and entertainment su ch as hurling, racing and cricket. However, there was no school for the ch ildren. Thomas Delaney¿s wife, Ann, suffered indifferent health for many years, a nd passed away on 26th June 1857. Thomas remarried on 9th September, 185 7, to Mary Wilson. Thomas and Mary had two children, Catherine and John Th omas Delaney. Thomas passed away on 21st May 1860. Shortly after Thomas died, John and Bridget moved their family further nor th along the Merri River to the ¿Rosehill¿ estate, in the Parish of Purni m. John became a tenant farmer of Gilbert Nicol, and stayed for a numb er of years. The younger children attended attended a school nearby. In 1864, a very happy event was celebrated, the first family marriage, wh en Catherine, nearly 20 years old, married James Farrell. Then, under the Land Act of 1865, the Delaney¿s selected three allotmen ts at Nirranda: Lot 76A of 106 acres in the name of the eldest child, Patrick Delaney. Lot 76B of 105 acres, for which John Snr. paid rates until 1877 Lot 76C to James Farrell. 1 Rent of one shilling per acre/ per half year commenced in October 1866. The family were still residing at Purnim, when Patrick married Ellen Kilma rtin on 19th Feburary 1867. The family were uprooted yet again, in 1868, w hen they moved to their land selections at Nirranda. The journey took a we ek to complete, the family camping under drays and in tents along the wa y. The Delaney family was amongst the earliest settlers in the Nirranda ar ea. As the family grew in size, accommodation had to increase. John and Bridge t, with the single members of the family; Patrick with his wife Ellen a nd baby Bridget; Catherine, her husband James and their young children, h ad to be housed. The Nirranda land was wild and raw, a harsh enviorment wh ich took a family effort to erect dwellings and farms, and gain a livi ng at the same time. The work was long and hard, but by 31st January 187 1, a Crown Grant was given, at the cost of One Pound per acre, with improv ments being made in accordance with the conditions of the lease. The la nd was now Freehold, but the family did not rest, as they continued to imp rove their land for years to come. Until this time in the story, the family spelt Delany without the second ¿ e¿. Thomas, John and his son Patrick, signed official documents without t he second ¿e¿. However, in the application for the Crown Grant in 1871, Pa trick had added the second ¿e¿ to his signature, and so the spelling of t he family name reverted to a more Irish form, from this time. The spelli ng of DELANEY, became the recognised spelling for the family. In time, the children of John and Bridget grew, married and began their o wn families. Margaret Delaney married Joseph Toleman on 19th January 187 3, and lived in Garvoc, where the Toleman family were well established. Ma ry married Robert Murphy and went to live in Penhurst. From 1874 onwards, the Delaneys are recorded as ratepayers of East Ridi ng of the Warrnambool Shire. John is listed as holding a house and 105 acr es: Patrick is listed as holding a house and 106 acres, while James Farre ll is listed as holding a house and 105 acres. Family ties were broken, when on 19th May 1876, John Delaney died aged 8 2, at Nirranda, after an illness of four months. Bridget continued on, hel ped by her two younger sons, John and Thomas. Bridget lived a busy and pro ductive life, tending to her garden, her many fowls, and caring for her ma ny grandchildren. Ellen never married and lived with her mother, but late r, when her sister Mary died, Ellen took over the management of that house hold. Johanna Delaney, being just old enough to remember her grandmother, recal ls her many geese, and how Grandmother worried about them attacking her br other Martin and herself when they were playing outdoors at her plac e. As they lived across the road from their Grandmother, the geese may ha ve posed a constant problem. From the book A Long Way From Tipperary by Mary O'Callaghan 1 In fact the title for Lot 76C is signed with an 'X' and noted "Catheri ne Farrell - her mark" by a clerk.[Dunne Martin Descendants.FTW] Getting to Australia and the Early Years The Cyprus, a brig of some 258 tons, anchored at Belfast (now Port Fair y) on 15th January 1855, with her cargo and crew, and nine passengers, a M r.
