Hi
We did a lot of research and a family tree for Thomas Faragher and Isabella Craine for a Faragher Family Reunion at Truganina, Victoria in 1994. John, were you part of that reunion?
Thomas and Isabella's oldest son, Thomas went to Canada. Two of Thomas's children, Isabella Matilda and Thomas James were beneficiaries of their grandfather’s will which was prepared in 1860.
If you are interested in our family profiles that were prepared for the reunion in 1994, I will be happy to pass them on.
With regards to Catherine Faragher, I don't know where the original information that she was a sibling came from; however, it is possible that based on the 1851 census that there may have been a wrong "joining of the dots" that this Catherine was a sibling rather than someone with just the same surname (although she probabley is related somehow).
