Member Since: May 2009 Posts: 4 Send Message	Frederick Greer Hanna b. c, 1856/7 Whitehouse, Co. Antrim, Ireland par: Langford Hanna and Abigail Pritchard. Langford and Abigail m. 12 Feb 1846, Newtownabbey Co. Antrim Church of Ireland - both addresses given as Whitehouse. Abigail's father Patrick Pritchard, Mason; Langford's occupation Mason, father Thomas Hanna, Labourer. They had at least two other children - Rachel Malcolmson Hanna and Mary, born Whitehouse, baptised 13 June 1851 St Annes Shankill Co. Antrim, Church of Ireland. Rachel and Frederick Hanna both emigrated to Australia, and both married in Brighton Victoria (Melbourne) in 1886. At Frederick's marriage to Rosina Hammond, a Mary Ann Pritchard was one of the witnesses. I am trying to find a link between this Mary Ann Pritchard and Frederick's mother's family in Ireland. Any help appreciated. I have been unable to locate arrival details for Frederick, Rachel or the only Pritchard family I have been able to locate with a Mary Ann born in Australia - of course she may have been born in Ireland and emigrated with Frederick and Rachel, or she may be completely unrelated - just a coincidence.
