On 24th October 1846, the five Guerin siblings—Lawrence (26yo), Bridget (23yo), Patrick (21yo), John (20yo), and Catherine (16yo)—arrived in Adelaide, South Australia, aboard the ship Hooghly. This journey from Plymouth, England, marked a significant moment in their family history as they originated from Co. Clare, Ireland. Unfortunately, limited information is currently available regarding their life and Irish ancestry before emigrating.
This site will document information about the lives of the original siblings and descendants in Australia and continue the search for history of the family in Ireland. It will always welcome additional information, and corrections, to build an open family resource.

The verbal family history of the Guerin siblings indicates that their parents were John and Catherine/Bridget (nee Ryan). While several locations in Co. Clare have been suggested as their origin, none have been verified yet, and research into their Irish ancestry continues in Ireland. (Updated July 2023)
Lawrence, born in 1820 and part of a family with rich Irish ancestry, passed away in 1906. He married Margaret Larkin (1833-1874), and together they are often noted in family history, including the lives of the Guerin siblings.
Bridget, who was born in 1823 and passed away in 1903, has a rich family history that includes her marriage to Josheph O'Brien (1821-1903). Their lives are a part of the broader narrative of the Guerin siblings and reflect their Irish ancestry.
Patrick, born in 1825 and part of the Guerin siblings, passed away in 1900. His family history also includes his marriage to Winifred Mulvihill (1819-1901), highlighting their deep Irish ancestry.
John, who was born in 1826 and died in 1878, has a significant place in family history as one of the Guerin siblings. He married Bridget Agnes Conlin (1829-1923) on 11th May 1850 at Mt Barker, SA, contributing to their shared Irish ancestry.
Catherine, who was part of the Guerin siblings, was born in 1830 and passed away in 1888. She married James McNamara (1823-1900) on 9th September 1847 in Adelaide, SA, contributing to our understanding of family history and Irish ancestry.
