Cotter family of New Farm Queensland - Falvey charts (page 1 of 2,
charts 3 - 7 are on page 2).
These 7 sheets of various Queensland Falvey families contain people who
appear in released Queensland births, marriages and deaths records, or
are shown as eg parents even if not in Australia. It is possible some
have been missed, so a particular line of interest could be progressed
by going to the source microfiche and CD available in many Queensland
(and perhaps major interstate) libraries.
At the time of putting up these charts only the families of Daniel
Falvey the elder and Alice O'Brien
(sheet 1) and their son Daniel Joseph and his wife Margaret
Boyle (sheet 2) appear linked to the Cotter family of New Farm,
Daniel the elder and Alice being Mary Healy's grandparents.
However the other sheets, having been drawn up as part of the process,
may as well be put up too and may be of use to someone.They may later
be shown to have a link to the first two.
In all cases there may be people not on
the sheets who should be there. Generally only people appearing
in Queensland records are included. For example if a sibling stayed in
Ireland, or was in another Australian state they probably are not
picked up.
Sheet 1 below - this family was around Toowoomba, Queensland. Daniel
(at least) came to Australia about 1875 and settled near Cambooya. It
appears this was at "the Sugar Loaf" ,
an area about 9k from Cambooya. Two of his sons are subsequently shown
to have been at Ramsay, adjacent to (now) Sugarloaf.

George Gordon was born at Burnside Scotland, 5.9.1834. He went to sea
at 13 and while gold digging in New Zealand about 1860 met Julia
Falvey who had migrated from Ireland. They were married in Victoria
24.6.1867, returning to Scotland and Ireland for their honeymoon. When
they departed London 23.4.1868 to return to Australia they were
accompanied by George's younger brother Robert and Julia's younger
sister Bridget. They lived at "Heatherwick" near Boonah from 1869.
Robert and Bridget were married in the Presbyterian church Ipswich
8.4.1875 and returned to Robert's farm "Gibraltar", near George's farm.
It seems therefore that at least two of Daniel the elder and
Alice's children were in Australia when they arrived in 1875.

Sheet 2 below - this family was also from
around Toowoomba and Daniel Joseph was the son of Daniel and
Alice in sheet 1 above. Daniel Joseph was shown as living at Ramsay
nr Cambooya in 1897. He had previously worked as a shearer and also a
butcher in Toowoomba before settling at Hillview, Ramsay in 1887.
It is believed some of his five sons farmed
at Greenmount, also near Cambooya.
