My McNamara family arrived in SA on board the HOOGHLY in 1846 – it consisted of three siblings:Mary McNAMARA, who married a JOHN HAYES in County CLARE, Ireland prior to departure. They travelled on the HOOGHLY with their son MORTIMER HAYES.Two of MARY’S brothers accompanied them on the voyage – PATRICK MCNAMARA who married a MARY DONNELLY in SA in about 1850. - I have found some of the descendents.JOHN MCNAMARA – of whom I know very little at all.PATRICK’s family ended up raising PATRICK THOMAS HAYES – who was the second born son of MARY and JOHN HAYES (nee MCNAMARA). MARY died supposedly during childbirth and JOHN soon left his family in search of Gold in the Victorian Goldfields – never to be heard from again, in the 1850’s.
