Caroline Barton did go to Tasmania - Update

I have found a record for a child of Francis Pogson and Caroline Barton being born in Hobart, Tasmania in 1849.  The parents names are specifically given as Frank Pogson and Caroline Barton.  The name of the child was Caroline Bertha Pogson and she was born on 26 July 1849.

Presumably this child died since by 1851, Caroline Barton had given birth to a second daughter called Caroline (my great-great grandmother).

Was Caroline's return to England associated with the death of Caroline Bertha?   The mystery of why she left Francis continues.  I am glad, however, to have proof that Caroline did go to Tasmania with Frank.

Hoolihan Surname Study

After 5 months, I have finally finished inputting the Houlihans for Co Kerry into the database, Wikitree and zeemaps.  It took a lot longer than I ever expected.  I am now moving on to Queens County.  That county will be quick.  After that is Co Limerick, there are many residents there.

Looking at zeemaps, I am wondering if the "Hoolihans" are a different strain to the "Houlihans".  There are no Hoolihans in Kerry or Limerick.  The Hoolihans are in the centre and south east of Ireland.  Not sure what conclusions to draw yet but it is interesting.

I suspect that more analysis of BMD and Griffiths is going to be required to finalise my theories.
