7 May 1845 The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW)

The Peasant, Policeman, and Peer.-

We last week recorded the circumstance of a Liverpool policeman having been elevated to the Irish peerage by the title of Earl Tracy. A correspondent, who says he has an "intimate knowledge of the family," forwarded us the following:- "James Tracy, the policeman, who has recently been elevated to the peerage, was born in Geashill, a small village in the King's County, Ireland. He is the eldest of a large family, who was a tolorably good specimen of what O'Connell would call 'the finest pisantry in the world.' When a boy he was noticed by a gentleman of the neighbourhood, who took him into his house, where he acquitted himself so much to the gentleman's satisfaction, that he bestowed on him a liberal education, and procured him a situation in a counting-house. He subsequently married a lady of great beauty, with a fortune of about £2000. He then embarked in the wine and spirit business, and for some years had an establishment on Summerhill, Dublin. Under these circumstances of affluence he did not forgot his parents' humble roof, and his brothers were appointed to minor offices in his establishment. His long-pending case in the Lords, however, drained his resources, and we next find him exercising the functions of a policeman in Liverpool. This might be said to be a 'step from the sublime to the ridiculous, but lo! again the scene is changed, and we behold him a peer of the realm! possessing a fine, portly frame, that would not disgrace a monarch, added to a good and generous disposition and an extensive knowledge of human nature." -Bristol Mercury.

Births - On Monday last, in York street, the Lady of Dr. Tracy of a son.

17 November 1827 (F) The Late charge of Shop-Lifting in Dublin

The unfortunate individual (Dr. Tracy) who was lately apprehended under the above charge, remains in custody. - His house was searched since we last mentioned his apprehension by peace officer Galogly, and a vast quantity of articles of a most varied description found in one of the closets. It is, perhaps, possible that those articles, or some of them, might have been purchased by him; but it is rather singular that he never mentioned having them in his possession to any member of his family. In fact, the waiting room of the Head-Police-office bears a stronger resemblance to a fancy shop in Home's Arcade, than a place of official business, the room being strewn with rich shawls, pieces of silk, fashionable and costly china ornaments, a quantity of silver bladed fruit knives, ostrich feathers, artificial flowers, plated coasters, branch and plain candlesticks, ribbons, laces, and a multitude of other articles, which would puzzle the ingenuity of an auctioneer to classify under their proper heads. The informations are not yet complete, and he remains over for further examination.

21 November 1827 (F) Recorders Court, Dublin

Yesterday, Doctor Thomas Tracy, M.D. pleaded "Not Guilty" to the Indictment for stealing in the shop of Mr. Tuthill. At the sitting of the Court this day, Mr. Hamilton, said he was desired by the Prisoner to apply to the Court, to withdraw the plea of "Not Guilty". The prisoner was again arraigned - the Indictment was read to him - in it he stood charged for stealing 3 yards of Linen, the property of Henry Tuthill, of Dame-street, and to which the Prisoner pleaded "Guilty". The Recorder then proceeded to give Judgement, and Sentenced the Prisoner to 7 years Transportation.

9 February 1828 (F) Doctor Tracy - Captain Beggs

Nearly thirty convicts wer conveyed from Newgate to the hulk, at Dunleary, on Sunday morning, amongst whom were Dr. Tracy and Capt. Beggs.

Nearly thirty convicts were conveyed from Newport to the hulk, at Dunleary [Co Dublin], on Friday morning, amongst whom were Doctor Tracy and Captain Beggs.

8 December 1827 (F)

Among the extraordinary cases which are continually exciting our wonder in the police reports, we have met with none more remarkable than those of Dr. Tracy of Dublin, who had contrived a large camlet cloak full of pockets to receive the booty recruining from his long unsuspected cruises...but we really think it worth serious consideration, whether there are not many "cases punished by Botany Bay, or the halter, which are fitter for St. Luke's"

Kings County

On the night of Tuesday last, on the townland of Bollrihy, near Dunbkerrin, in this county, the house of a small farmer named Thomas Tracey was burned to the ground. To the motives which induced the commission of this outrage there is as yet not a clue; but the fact remains that Tracey refuses to swear information and declines seeking compensation for the injury sustained has given rise to strong suspicions as regards the probable perpetration.

1862 From King's County to "Quinnsland"

Between the years 1862 and 1865, over six and a half thousand Irish people sailed from Queenstown, Co. Cork to Queensland, Australia. Nearly two thousand of these settlers originated from the midland counties being recruited by parish priest, Father Patrick Dunne, operating from Tullamore, King's County. Mr William Tracey, a native of the King's County, was one of the passengers by the Erin-go-bragh in 1862.

From the character of Mr. Treacy, and the high standing in the profession of the firm to which he belongs, the appointment cannot fail of giving general satisfaction.

MONEYGALL V BOHERAPHOOKA

A very social and interesting cricket match between the above teams, was witnessed by some hundreds of spectators at Moneygall on Sunday last, the 27th August, in a field kindly given for the occasion by Mr. Bergin, Cullenwaine. The only drawback to the day's amusement, was the absence of Mr. Lambe, which was greatly regretted by the Moneygall boys. The day being exceptionally fine, there was a good sprinkling of the fair sex, which greatly contributed to the day's enjoyment. The game, which was a very exciting one, resulted in a victory for the home team by twenty runs. Much credit is due to the batting of Cormack, Treacy, Meara, and Troy for the home team; while Colliton, P. Whelan, and Byrne did good work for the visitors. The bowling of Meara and Ryan, deserves special praise, while that of Aherne and Colliton was equally up to the standard.

George Seward Tracy/Tracey/Treacy
George Seward Tracy arrived at Port Phillip, Australia in 1841 on the ‘Wallace’ with his wife, Maria Winter, and seven children, from King's County, Ireland. When his wife died in 1845 his occupation was listed as Constable. In 1847 he was appointed a Chief Constable of Police by the Governor. From 1847 I have been unable to find any trace of him, as yet I haven't located a death or burial. I have found deaths for all his children but one son William Winter Tracy. George Seward's occupation on one of his son's marriage certificates was listed as 'High Constable of the Barony'. This could be 'romantic' version of Chief Constable or I thought he may have returned to Ireland. Hope you may be able help me or point me in the right direction. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

MARRIED On Monday the 19th inst. At St Peter’s Church, Mr George Seward Treacey, to Julia, youngest daughter of Daniel O’Reilly, Esq, of Elizabeth Street, Melbourne

‘The Argus’ newspaper, Tuesday 20th July 1852.

I have been unable to match this with a marriage in Digger’s Pioneer Index or a certificate from Victorian BDM’s. George Seward Treacy/Tracy/Tracey born Circa 1803, arrived at Port Phillip in 1841 with his wife Maria Winter and their seven children. George’s wife, Maria died in 1845, leaving him in a position to remarry. I have been unable to find a death for George Seward Treacy. George also had a son named George Seward Treacy born Cir 1834 in Ireland. George Seward would have been old enough to marry in 1852. He married Catherine McRae on 20th October 1857 at the Independent Church, Collins St, Melbourne. From the Index of the Divorce Cause Book, I was able to find that George Seward and Catherine were divorced in 1861. On George Seward Treacy’s Victorian Death Certificate in 1910, it states under: If Married – Single. Information is needed please for where and how to gain access to marriage records for 1852 at St Peter’s Church, Melbourne. Contact with other researchers with a Daniel O’Reilly or Julia O’Reilly in their family trees, who lived in Melbourne around 1852, would be appreciated.

A petition was filed by a husband (July 1863), praying a divorce, on the grounds of adultery by the wife. An answer was filed by the wife and co-respondent, denying the charges on oath, and the petition was subsequently dismissed for want of prosecution. The wife afterwards petitioned for divorce on grounds of adultery by the husband, cruelty, and desertion. The husband did not answer or defend the suit. the wife and the former co-respondent were examined and denied on oath the adulteries charged by the husband's petition. The court being satisfied with their denials and explanations, made a decree for divorce. Supreme Court Australia

Daniel Tracey (c1795-1832), physician, journalist and politician.

The details of his life in Ireland are sketchy. According to Mullally, the following account was printed in The Vindicator in 1833 after his death. He was born in Roscrea, Co. Tipperary, in May, 1795, the son of Michael Tracey, a merchant and ??? Mainfold of Erescourt, Birr Co. Offaly. He was orphaned at a young age and an uncle on his father’s side raised him and a brother and sister. At the age of ten he was removed from a seminary in his native town to a school in Clonmel. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, and after graduation studied medicine at the Royal College of Surgeons, Dublin. He practiced medicine in Dublin for several years; but in 1825 he emigrated to Canada with his brother and sister. According to Reynolds, Dr. Daniel Tracey (who changed the spelling of the name) was of an Irish branch of the well-known English family, and by much the eldest of four orphaned children, a graduate of Trinity College and of its medical school, he was a practicing physician residing in Offaly county, Ireland, when the accidental death by drowning of a younger brother, to whom he was fondly attached, led him to decide on a change of residence to Canada. After a shipwreck in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, he arrived in Montreal in the year 1825, having with him his brother, John, then a lad of fourteen years, and his sister, Ann, aged fifteen. The Trinity College record is as follows: Daniel Tracey, Pen. (Mr Morris), Dec 5, 1814, aged 20; R.C., s. of Denis, Mercator; b. King’s Co. (Offaly). A French reference states that his father was Denys (Denis) Tracey a merchant of Offaly and his mother was Anne Manford. The obituary of John Tracey, his brother, says that he was born in Frankfort, Offaly.

His life in Canada is well documented. He began the practise of his profession in Montreal in 1825 and lived in either on St. James Street or in the then St. Antoine Suburbs. In 1828 he established the Vindicator, a Reform newspaper, and became its editor. When news of O’Connell's electoral victory arrived in Lower Canada in September 1828 Tracey organized the province’s first Friends of Ireland Society. In May 1832, he was elected to represent the west ward of Montreal in the Legislative Assembly of Lower Canada. He died of cholera in Montreal on July 18, 1832.

Treacy/Delahunty of Mountheaton

Both Names were changed to Tracy & Delahanty when they immigrated to New York City. I have been told by my older family members, that they were from Tipperary and that Edward had a brother, James, and Margaret had a sister, Mary. Good possibility that James and Mary married and went to New York City too. In 2003, my family received papers from Nenagh, Tipperary North Designated Centre, with marriage and baptism information on our family. It mentions that the family address was Mountheaton. I have just found out that Mountheaton is in County Offaly. It also says that the marriage and baptisms were at the R.C. parish in Roscrea. Here is the info we received:
Edward Treacy m. Margaret Delahunty 1854. Witnesses: William Maher & Anne Whitaker
Anne Sp: Patrick Bohan & Honora Delahunty
Michael Sp: Patt Reardon & Sarah Corbett
John Sp: John Cussin & Anne Cussin
James Sp: Michael Delahunty & Margaret Gavin
I believe they immigrated to NY City between 1856 & 1861, but I can't find them on the passenger lists. Any ideas? Maybe you have a connection with my family or one of the witnesses or sponsors? I am open to any suggestions.
