TOOHEY IRISH ORIGINS
The story of the "Bonnie Dell" Tooheys begins in Ballygibbon, County of Tipperary, Ireland. Here William Toohey lived with his wife, Mary Noon, in the 1790s. They are the earliest known ancestors of the Toohey family. They had at least four
children, Patrick born c.1794, Margaret c.1800, John c.1801 and Michael c.1803.
During the 1700s the English continued in their oppression of Ireland. The Penal Laws were directed against education, property and political rights, and religion. Their purpose was to keep the Irish people powerless and poor. The Irish
Gentry were gone; their estates were no held by English landlords.
After the 1798 Rebellion, further measures gave landlords more power to confiscate land and oppress their tenants. As Irish agriculture changed in the early 1800s from tillage to pasturage, unemployment grew. More and more people depended on
small patches of subdivided land to grow enough potatoes to keep themselves and their families alive. Every few years plant diseases reduced or almost wiped out the potato crops. Low wages and high rents, compulsory tithes and evictions from
land caused resentment and suffering. Ireland, as the setting for the beginning of the Toohey Story, was a land of over - population, poverty, and persecution - a land of tension and conflict.
Fr.Edmund's record:
William Toohey (farmer) lived and died in Ireland. He married and had at least three children. His wife's name is not recorded in any known records in Australia*. The known children are John (born 1801), Michael (born 1809), Mary (Margaret) -
married Patrick Hogan. For known details re Michael Toohey and Mary Hogan, see copies of details from records from Archives of NSW etc.
