JANE2 HANRAHAN (MICHAEL1)
was born Abt. 1872 in Kilbaha, Co. Kerry and died November 30, 1945 in
Bunbury, Western Australia. She
married JOHN SHINE in Fremantle. He
was born November 21, 1874 in Shanagolden, Co. Limerick, and died November 30,
1942.
Mary Jane's birth registration
According to Jane’s marriage certificate she was aged 27 when she married in 1900, which would make her date of birth 1873. However the only child born to Michael and Margaret Hanrahan around that period was ‘Mary’ on February 5th. 1872 (see ‘Kilbaha baptismal records’ on the HOME page). Jane's death certificate states that she married aged 28 which would correspond with the baptismal records.
It seems most likely that Jane was actually named ‘Mary Jane’, losing
the ‘Jane’ in the baptismal and birth records and the ‘Mary’ as she grew
up. To further this argument the name ‘Mary Jane’ was also given to a
daughter of John ‘The Major’.
Jane’s place of birth also
raises questions. According to Jane’s marriage certificate she was born in
Newtown, Ballybunion, Co. Kerry, which is about 10 miles from Moyvane however
‘Mary’s’ birth registraton lists Kilbaha, Moyvane as her place of birth.
It’s a circle I cannot square at the moment but according to the old family
tree (see HOME page) Jane did have relations in Ballybunion.
In 1882 Johanna Hanrahan
emigrated to Australia. Over the following years the same journey was made by
three of her younger siblings: James, Jane and Ellen. It appears that Ellen was
the only one to ever return to Ireland again. When Johanna emigrated in 1882 aged 20,
James would have been about 16, Jane was about 10 and Ellen about 6. Considering
Johanna married a Moyvane man Australia it is possible they emigrated together
to be followed by James a few years later. Jane and Ellen may have followed in
their footsteps later again making the voyage together. This is all speculation,
however.
Jane emigrated to Australia circa 1895 when she was about twenty three years old. She initially settled in Melbourne for four years where Johanna had made her home (James had died in the same city in 1889). It was in Melbourne that she met her future husband, John Shine. John was from Shanagolden, Co. Limerick and there is conjecture that they knew each other from home. Adding to this, it is also interesting to note that ‘Mary’s’ godfather was Daniel Shine.
Jane and John's marriage certificate
Jane and John moved to Western Australia and after their marriage in St. Patrick's Cathedral, Fremantle on April 5th. 1900 they settled in Bunbury. Witnesses to their marriage were Jane's sister Ellen, who travelled west with the couple and Denis Lynch. Jane died in 1945 having lived fifty years of her life in Australia.
Jane's death certificate
Jane’s grandson, Terry Shine of Busselton, Western
Australia, has gone to great lengths to record his family history and the
following is his account of John and Jane’s life in Australia:
The following is fact as far as I can ascertain on John Shine's travels and exploits in Australia.
There are many stories circulating amongst John and Jane’s descendants about their arrival in Australia and what their exploits were in this country. I will endeavour to give an outline of what I think actually followed from when they landed in Australia through to their departure from this world. I have listened to stories and anecdotes about Grandfather John from relatives here in the West and read family tree notes supplied by Melbourne genealogist, Kate Press and my brother John William Shine who I believe had some come into his possession from Marlee Creaser who I think lives in Victoria and is one of our relatives.
I have spent some time in Perth
going through the shipping records in the 1890's to see if I could ascertain
just when my grandfather did arrive in WA. The records of arrivals in WA up to
1890 have all been microfilmed and are reasonably clear to read and quite
comprehensive. As far as the records show, no person with the name Shine came
from overseas to Western Australia before 1890. However, the records of overseas
arrivals from 1890 to about 1910 have not been collated or microfilmed as yet
and I had a hard time accessing the actual original documents and those that I
did have access to I found some of them hard to follow and to read because many
of them had been handwritten.
Kate Press told me that the
ship that Catherine Shine and some of her children came out on was the
‘Arubra’ and that it left Liverpool on 7th April 1894 and arrived in
Melbourne on 20th June 1894. Our grandfather, John Shine is reputed to have come
out to Australia with her and to have got off the ship when it called into
Fremantle on its way to Melbourne.
When I checked the WA shipping
records of the time I found that no ship called ‘Arubra’ had called into
Fremantle or Albany. However, another ship named "Oruba" was plying
between Australia and England on a regular basis at about this time. It arrived
in Albany on 10th May 1894 and sailed to Adelaide the next day, arriving there
on14th May 1894.The next reference to the ‘Oruba’ was that it was in Sydney,
presumably having called into Melbourne on its way. I found that the newspaper
of the day “THE WEST AUSTRALIAN" printed a list of passengers that
disembarked from the ‘Oruba’ at Albany on the 10th May 1894 and no Shine got
off at Albany. Until I get to Melbourne and I am able to check the shipping
records there, I do not know if the names ‘Arubra’ and ‘Oruba’ are
referring to the same ship or if indeed they are two different vessels. However
a ‘ J. Shine’ embarked on the ‘SS Inaminka’ from Melbourne and
disembarked at Fremantle on 2nd May 1898. I could not confirm this from the
passenger list that was printed in ‘THE WEST AUSTRALIAN’ of the day. This
could be my grandfather and I feel that this is when he arrived in Western
Australia.
It seems to be a little more
known as to what happened to him from now on. He went to the goldfields at
Kalgoorlie and set up a thriving business of supplying fresh vegetables and
water to the miners. I also believe that his brother Cornelius (known as Con)
was there with him, and that Con was working as a ganger on the railways.
Missing their family, John and Con returned to Melbourne in 1899 (?) It was
while he was in Melbourne that John Shine met Jane Hanrahan and her sister
Ellen. There is some conjecture that John and Jane may have known each other
when they lived back in Ireland. I believe that John probably proposed to Jane
and asked her to go back to W.A. with him where they would be married. Jane
would not go without her younger sister Ellen and so late in 1899 or early 1900 John
took both of them to W.A. and John and Jane were married in Fremantle on
6/5/1900. The three of them then went to Boulder to live where John had a
thriving business of supplying fresh vegetables and water to the miners while
his wife Jane and her sister Ellen ran a boarding house and cooked hot meals for
the appreciative miners.
They continued on running their
business in Boulder City until they had saved enough money to buy a 300-acre
allocated block of land at Roelands in W.A. John and Jane arrived at Roelands to
take up the block of land in July (?) 1902 in the middle of winter and the land
was uncleared and covered in large pools of water. Jane burst into tears at the
sight of it and named the farm "Killarney" because it reminded
her of the lake district in Co. Kerry and of the hard times her family had
farming it in Ireland.
John and Jane prospered on the
Roelands property growing and selling produce to the workers at the local timber
mills situated in the hills to the East of Roelands.When their third son William
married Mary Keane in 1929 they purchased another property named "Melville
Park" at Brunswick Junction. William and Mary then took over the running of
the farm "Killarney" at Roelands and John and Jane moved to
"Melville Park at Brunswick". They purchased more blocks of land at
Roelands and in the Benger swamp which was drained in the summer months and
excellent crops of potatoes were grown there. He also grew potatoes at Roelands
and Brunswick and at one time was the largest potato grower in Western
Australia.
John and Jane's second son
Michael took over the farm next to and East of ‘Killarney’ at Roelands.
Jane Hanrahan died on 30th. November 1945 and is buried with her husband in Bunbury who died on 30th. November 1942.
My father John eventually took
over the ‘Melville Park’ farm and my brother, who is also a John Shine, now
owns it. Three generations of John Shine's have owned the ‘Melville Park’
property at Brunswick.
*************************************************
The following is not all confirmed fact.
Grandfather John Shine was a
very talented man, an excellent musician and master of the Irish dances and this
is confirmed in some of the stories below. His grandson Barrie Shine has his
Irish tin whistle and my daughter Theresa Wilks (his great granddaughter) has
his violin (fiddle).
As I said before there are many
stories circulating amongst John's descendants about his arrival in Australia
and what his exploits were in this country. Below is a copy of some of them as I
have heard them or seen them in written form. If I know that there are any
glaring non truths or mistakes as regards the names of places and dates
particularly those that have come from Eastern states relatives then I have
taken it upon myself to correct them.
From Denis Shine, "Killarney",
Roelands.
The story goes that he arrived in
W.A. just before St. Patrick's Day and he entered the St. Patrick's Day Irish
jig dancing competitions in Fremantle. He danced so fast that he brought sparks
off the pavement and he could jump his own height (5 ft. 8 ins.) and play the
fiddle at the same time. He won the competition and was awarded five pounds. He
defended his title of Champion Irish jig dancer at Fremantle for the next eight
years. With the five pounds in his pocket he pushed a wheelbarrow to Coolgardie
and then on to Boulder City where he carried on a business of carrying water and
selling vegetables to the miners in the gold rush days.
From John Shine, "Melville
Park", Brunswick and originally probably from Marlee Creaser.
Catherine Sheehy, born 10 December 1840, and Henry Shine, born 26h August 1833,
married at the Parish Church, Coolcappa, Kilcolman, Co. Limerick, Ireland, on 3d
February, 1859. Henry, who we believe was an only child, had a prosperous farm
at Shannagolden, Co Limerick, a fertile region near the famous River Shannon.
Catherine and Henry had 15 children. Henry died on the13th December 1884,
leaving Catherine with 11 children to rear, the others having died young. Four
of the older children, Ellen, Owen, William and Cornelius emigrated to
Australia between 1879 and 1888.
Around about 1892 Catherine decided she must sell the farm and leave Ireland to
start a new life in Australia with her seven remaining children Patrick, John,
Bridget, Mary, Kathleen, Margaret and Henry. Catherine's older brother John
Sheehy, born 1834, had already gone to Melbourne Australia, sailing on the
'Great Australian', he landed there in 1862. Patrick Sheehy another brother, had
a son named William, who arrived in Australia in 1893 to join his uncle, John
Sheehy.
In 1894 Catherine booked passage with her children on a wooden sailing vessel
the 'Arubra", a trip that would take 4 months. The day before their
departure for their new home, Catherine asked two of the children to go and
collect a bottleful of holy water from Shannagolden's parish church. She was
sure that the holy water would keep them all safe on their very long and
hazardous ocean journey. But the two youngsters began to play and soon forgot
all about the holy water. Suddenly it was dusk, so they ran quickly to the
Church, only to find it closed. Fearful of returning home without the precious
holy water, they decided they would go to Paddy Moore's farm and fill the bottle
with water from his well instead.
Although travelling with seven young children under cramped conditions for a
very long time, coping with raging storms and sickness, Catherine nevertheless
always felt safe. After all, she believed she had her precious bottle of holy
water from her old parish church with which to bless and protect her children
when the seas were rough! But, when stormy weather prompted her to use the
"holy water" all the children would be giggling under the blankets,
whispering to one another: " Begorra, it's Paddy Moore's water she's
sprinkling!" (This story was told to Marlee Creaser-Catherine was Marlee's
Great Grandmother- and her husband Robert by a distant cousin Kathleen Sheehy,
when they visited Ireland in April, 1993, whom they found still lived near
Shannagolden, at the village of Duncaha.)
When Catherine's ship docked at Fremantle Western Australia, to take on fresh
food and provisions, Catherine's son John, born 21" November 1875, then 19
years old, entered the Saint Patrick's Day Dancing Contest and, to his family's
great delight won the Grand Prize of Five Pounds.
John immediately said to his mother: "What a grand place this is, to get
paid just for dancing!" John decided right then and there that he would
stay in this wonderful place and did not continue the rest of the journey to
Victoria.
Catherine and her six other children set sail to finish the journey and be with
her brothers and their families in Melbourne, Victoria. Patrick, the oldest son
still living at home with his mother built her a replica of the house they had
left in Ireland at 88 Palmerston Street, Carlton, Victoria and she called it
'Shannagolden.'
From John Shine, "Melville
Park", Brunswick and originally probably from Marlee Creaser.
John Shine b. November 21st. 1875
Shannagolden County Limerick
Catherine Sheehy b. 1840 left Ireland after the death of her husband Henry in
1884 and sailed for Australia in 1894. She booked passage for herself and her 7
remaining children, Patrick b. 1866, John b. 1875, Bridget b. 1878, Mary b.
1880, Catherine b. 1883 (twin), Margaret b. 1883 (twin), and Henry b. 1884. Four
of their children, Maggie b. 1860, Catherine b. 1871, Mary b. 1873 and John b.
1874 died in Ireland and are buried there, and four of the older children, Ellen
b. 1861, Owen b. 1863, William b. 1865 and Cornelius b. 1869 had already
emigrated to Australia. (The four dead children's names were given to babies
born at a later date)
Catherine sailed on a wooden sailing vessel the "Arubra". The trip
took 4 months at sea. She had to cope with cramped conditions, raging storms and
sickness, however, she took great care of her family and they all arrived safely
at their first port Fremantle, Western Australia, where the ship took on fresh
food and provisions.
It was March 17th. Saint Patrick's Day and a day of celebration with the Grand
Prize of five pounds for the best performer. John then 19 years of age had a
gregarious personality, a very good voice, and loved to dance the Irish Jig. To
everyone's delight he won 1st. Prize and said "What a grand country this is
where they pay you for singing and dancing." He felt he needed to stay in
this wonderful place and did not continue the journey with his Mother, brothers
and sisters on to the Port of Melbourne, Victoria. Catherine's ship
"Arubra" docked in Melbourne in 1894.
She joined her brother John b. 1834, who sailed out on the "Great
Australian" in 1862, and another brother's son William Sheehy b. 1875.
Brother Patrick b. 1847 and his wife Margaret later settled in Melbourne with 5
of their children, 4 other children Thomas, Cornelius, Ellen and Kathleen,
stayed in Ireland.
Enjoying his independence and freedom John decided to travel to the Goldfields
at Kalgoorlie,W.A.He prospered by growing fresh vegetables and selling them and
water to the miners and diggers, from his horse and cart. Soon he was able to
build a house for himself.
Missing his family, he booked a passage on a sailing ship traveling to
Melbourne, to visit with his Mother. On arrival he noticed many sailing ships in
the harbour, filled with the most lovely young Irish girls arriving from
Ireland. He chose Jane Hanrahan, born 1873 at Ballybunion Co. Kerry. Jane and
her sister Ellie agreed to settle in Fremantle, Western Australia.
The present W.A. Family is fond of joking about John, saying that he was always
looking for a bonus, in fact, he managed to find 2 lovely girls for the price of
one.
They then ran what was known as a 'boarding house' at Boulder in so far as
they supplied hot meals with all the fresh produce from the land. The miners and
labourers came from several camps to enjoy their cooking, many of these men
enjoying their very first hot meal since leaving Fremantle or Perth. Jane and
Ellie also used beer bottles cut in half for jam jars. They milked cows and made
butter, which was sold to the settlers.
The Family was soon able to return to Fremantle and was able to purchase
allocated rich fertile land at Roelands which he called "Killarney."
John became well respected in the area. He was an excellent entrepreneur and
entertainer, and the locals were very happy to buy him a drink for singing a
grand Irish ballad or doing an Irish Jig.
When John's son William married, John bought the beautiful 'Melville Park'
property at Brunswick Junction which was added to the 'Killarney Estate,' and is
still owned by the Shine Family today.
John's favourite drinking spot was a Hotel still standing in Brunswick today.
This Hotel lies at what was the South East corner of the property ‘Melville
Park’. The story goes that John found
out that the Hotelkeeper had a habit of secretly milking ‘Melville Park's’
cows. So one evening John marched into the Hotel, occupied his favourite stool
at the bar and called for a whiskey adding, "Paddy my good man, pour me a
whisky, and will you be putting a drop of me own Melville Park milk in it."
At ‘Killarney’ Jane and Ellie made jams and jellies, as well as sewing
bottles of liquor into sacks of grain and potatoes, the women also hollowed out
large pumpkins to hide extra bottles of drink. John carted all the produce up
the then forested ‘Darling Range’ to the major sawmills.
The Timber Companys, Bunnings, Whittakers, and Millers had three timber mills
working at Yarloop, Mornington and Wolsley. The Sawmills insisted on a dry
camp and no liquor was allowed at the Company store. John Shine always arrived
playing his Irish tin whistle alerting the men that he had come with fresh food
and grog to sell.
He needed two horses for the trip. As neighbours paid him to break horses for
them, he would take an unbroken one and a quiet broken horse to pull the loaded
cart up the hills and would sell the quiet horse to the saw millers and would
return home with just the one horse well and truly broken in by now, thus giving
him free transportation for the enterprise.
Visiting Fremantle in April 1994, Marlee (the Great Grandaughter of Catherine
Shine) and Robert Creaser spoke with Uncle Pat (Patrick Keane) then 89 years
old, who lived at ‘Roselands’, Osborne Park W.A.
When Uncle Pat was only 11 years of age, John Shine saw him milk 20 cows
by hand and gave him a job at 'Killarney,' Uncle Pat's sister Mary Ellen (known
as Mollie) married one of the Shine boys, William (known as Bill).
John Shine refused to ever drive a car and always had a horse and cart right to
the end of his life. John had an active and independent life and in his late
years was heard to say, weeping after he had sung a sad Irish lament, 'Begourra
I've all this money, and my God no time to enjoy it'
From Terry Shine as told by my father
John (Jack).
John Shine lived in a large
colonial style house on a property called ‘Melville Park’. The house
was about half a mile from the hotel at Brunswick Junction. In between the
homestead and the hotel was the Brunswick River and it had an old bridge across
it but one end had been washed away in a flood. It had a plank about
sixteen feet long and about ten inches wide, reaching from the washed out end of
the bridge across to the south bank of the river enabling people to still be
able to walk across the river.
Cornelius (Con) came to Western
Australia to visit his brother John and together they walked across the bridge
and plank to the Brunswick Hotel where they enjoyed a great evening of dancing
Irish jigs, playing the fiddle and having the odd drink or two. On returning
later in the night (there feet not quite walking in a straight line) they had
difficulty in negotiating the plank that joined the riverbank to the bridge and
consequently fell into the river. My father was not old enough to drink and as
he was close by fished them both out of the water, no doubt sobered up by then.
John grew potatoes in the Benger swamp along with other growers who had
blocks of land in it. The growers would wait till the swamp was drained at the
end of December and they would move in with their horses and ploughs and camp on
the islands. All the crops were planted and dug by a large team of labourers who
also camped there. John always took a case of whiskey with him and used it to
encourage keeping his team of workers to stay with him until all of the potatoes
had been planted in January and also when they were dug in May before the swamp
was flooded again. His island in the swamp was always the most popular and many
a grand night was spent singing and dancing while he played the tin whistle or
fiddle.
From the book ‘When Blue Was True’, a
brief history of the Brunswick area.
John's exploits in Brunswick.
When John delivered milk
around the district in his spring cart singing loud and clear, he would call out
"Milko Milko, bring out your billyo. If you haven't got a billyo bring out
your pottie-o".
John delivered milk to Browne's Ltd. milk factory in eleven gallon cans
and was paid for each full can of milk that was delivered. For some reason or
other the empty cans tended to fall off his cart on the way home and they ended
up becoming quite dented. John felt that he was getting a bargain being paid for
eleven gallons of milk but due to the dents in the cans, there was actually only
about ten gallons of milk in the can.
The
local Catholic priest needed a cart horse and John happened to have one for
sale. The priest made the comment, "I don't know much about horses Jack,but
is this horse alright". "Yes" replied Jack, "he doesn't look
so good but he is alright". The priest took the horse home and a day or so
passed and they met again and the priest said, "Jack that horse you sold to
me is blind". "Yes" admitted Jack, "I told you that he
doesn't look so good”.” Well", said the priest, "what shall I do
with him?" "Sell it to somebody else", replied Jack.

Marriage Notes for MARGARET

This was the first wedding to be celebrated in the then new catholic
church at Busselton. The actual wedding ceremony was carried out in the church
vestry because in those days Catholic Church rules decreed that a mixed marriage
between denominations could not be carried out in the main body of the church

Notes for JOHN SHINE:
John known as Jack, born 23rd. August 1909. He took
over the farm "Melville Park" at Brunswick Junction W.A. from his
father on 31st August 1939. He expanded the property by buying out an adjacent
farm of 300 acres from a Mr. Keith Jenner and from that time onwards, this farm
was called "Jenners". He also purchased for one shilling an acre, 1200
acres of coastal land between where Binningup and Myalup are now situated so
that he had a run off block for his dry cattle. He ran a stud Dorset Horn flock
of sheep for a few years but eventually realised that the Brunswick area was too
wet to run sheep profitably. He was the first farmer in W.A. to have a sprinkler
irrigation system for the watering of the summer crops of potatoes that he grew
on the Brunswick River flats. Through sheer hard work and long hours he built
"Melville Park" into a very successful dairy farm milking around 140
cows each day. In 1954 he purchased another property of 3400 acres at McAlinden
22 miles South East of Collie and eventually in partnership with his sons
Terence and John expanded this property to about 8000 acres growing around 1200
acres of oats, barley,and lupins and shearing around 22,000 merino sheep. He
died on the 27th. August 1989 and is buried in Bunbury.

Notes for COLLEEN ANN MURRAY:
Colleen Ann was born at seven months gestation and died about eight hours after birth mainly because there was no humidicrib at the Bunbury hospital in those days, the nearest being in Perth 115 miles away. Jane, her mother wanted her to be buried in the same grave site as her parents John and Jane Shine which also contained the body of there eight year old son James. Frank, Colleen's father went to arrange the burial according to Jane's wishes but found out that council by laws would not allow a fourth body to be buried in the same gravesite and Colleen was then buried in a separate grave site. Nobody had the heart to tell Jane that Colleen was not buried with her parents
