Place of migration
Migrated to/Born in Australia

Michael John Duigan ( MJD) son of John and Judith Duigan (nee Mulhall) was baptised 6 Oct 1839 at St Michan's Church Dublin.  He migrated to Australia ( no records found yet) and lived and died in Mt Gambier South Australia on 2 March 1904.

We know also that he had at least 3 siblings. John Joseph baptised 24 July 1833 at St Nicolas RC Church Dublin and he migrated to Australia, worked as a miner and died in Richmond Melbourne 19 July 1898.  Another sibling Henry was born either 1835 or 1841 also it seems in Dublin as there is a baptism record on 27 Feb 1835  which does not match his death certificate re his age as he also migrated to Australia and died in Northcote Melbourne 9 August 1914.   These boys also had a sister Elizabeth Mary who also went to Australia.  She married a Francis D'Arcy of NSW on 5th May 1854 in Singleton NSW and then lived and died in Richmond Melbourne on 29 Sept 1911.

We have good records of the descendants of Michael John Duigan and his wife Judith but few about of his siblings.
