Eliz Broe

The christening of Eliz Broe is listed in the on-line church records of Irishgenealogy (http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie), which lists her Roman Catholic baptism as having taken place in 1830 in Rathfarnham, Dublin, Ireland, and that her parents were John Broe and Elizabeth.

In May 2011, Anne Modistach of New South Wales, Australia, provided the following information to the RBFO in reference to the family of John Broe and Elizabeth: "I have scoured New Zealand papers and articles for the period and Thomas Brough also had a brother Patrick who emigrated to New Zealand in around 1864 from Ireland.  This Patrick has also been found in the Rathfarnham baptism records as being the son of John Broe and his wife Elizabeth.  Patrick's baptism was in 1825 and is on the Irish Genealogy site together with other children Mary (or Maria) in 1821, Martin in 1828, and Eliza in 1830.  Three other children of this family were born in Donnybrook: Henry, 1823, William, c1827, and George, 1834.  Henry and George emigrated to Australia and operated sawmills in and around Deniliquin, New South Wales.  An Irish researcher has documents including a bible given to Eliza by her brother Henry before his emigration. Henry died in New South Wales, and George returned to Dublin where he died a few years later.  She [the Irish researcher] also has a funeral card stating that John senior died in 1858 in Blue Bell [Bluebell, County Kildare, Ireland] which was where one of the sawmills was located."
