Dom Placid Sinnott took his grand nieces Elizabeth and Catherine Druhan and their Rossiter cousin from Kilmore away to convents when they were young. The Rossiter is assumed to be Catherine, as she is the only known daughter of Michael and Margaret (Sinnott).

In a report on the investiture of Elizabeth Druhan as abbess of Kylemore Abbey in 1941, there is mention of a cousin of the Abbess, Dame M. Aloysia, who was also at Ypres and had died at Macmine, County Wexford, after she had gone there with the Order over 20 years ago. This is probably a reference to Catherine.

Edmond married Grany, daughter of Barnaby Fitzpatrick, first Lord of Upper Ossory. They had 8 sons and 8 daughters. More details are in Lodge's The Peerage of Ireland vol II: A Genealogical History of the Present Nobility of that Kingdom (1754), pages 255-268 (Butler, Viscount Mountgarret). 
Butler, Edmond 2nd Viscount Mountgarret (I11560)

Edmund’s birth year is estimated on the assumption that Edmund would have been about 17 in 1832, when Fr Patrick Sinnott (Dom Placid) wrote to his brother Robert about Edmund becoming a priest (see below). The Lady's Island baptism register has no entries 1815-1825.
This is consistent with an entry in a list provided to Adelia Yates bout 2015 by Leandro Betemps, a researcher in Pelotas, who wrote an historical thesis about the French colony in that city:
"Edmundo (Edward) *1815 + antes de 1894 Pelotas" (* meaning born, + meaning died)
However, in a “List of settlers sent to our state of Rio Grande do Sul by João Francisco Froes under the auspices of Mr. Chief of Brigade John Pascoe Greenfeld and destined to the new colony formed in that state by the Associação Pelotense de Colonização” the names of John and Edmund Sinnott appear - at ages of 30 (John) and 45 (Edmund).  The settlers arrived about 1850.

An article in the Wexford People newspaper on 13 Oct 1978, quoting an old letter, states:
“Fr Sinnott [Michael - Dom Placid] seemed to be most anxious that Richard's [Robert’s] son Edmund would also become a priest [Dom Placid was probably meaning Robert's younger brother Edmund].  In one letter written in 1832, from Ampleforth College, he [Dom Placid] states: "I wish Edmund to begin the Latin grammar immediately.  I may perhaps send for him before Christmas, to come to Ampleforth College.  You [Robert] will be able to pay 10 pounds a year for four years.  I will endeavour to find a charitable person to pay 15 pounds a years for the same length of time.  I hope that in Edmund neither avocation to the religions and ecclesiastical life, nor the power nor the will to succeed will be found wanting."
The letter continues: "As there will be no one in Nethertown to teach him, John Murphy having left, he had better take a walk down to Churchtown every night or evening.  Mr Fortune will not, I am sure, have any objection to teaching him for a short time."
 
The article names Edmund as a son of Robert (Fr Sinnott's brother) but is more likely to be Robert's younger brother Edmund. Edmund the son was born either 1831 (death cert) or 1841 (Lady's Island register).  The 1832 date of the letter is consistent with Fr Sinnott's known location at Ampleforth then. 
 
Edmund is mentioned in a letter from his brother William received by their sister Catherine on 25 July 1840, and quoted by Catherine in her letter to their brother Michael.  William had gone to Edward with a picture the evening he received Catherine’s letters (5 Jul 1840).  Edmund was delighted with it and happy to hear that Catherine’s health was returning.  It is possible that Catherine had sent the picture to William.
 
Michael forwarded this news to Robert in his letter of 31 July 1840, and also noted that he had received a letter from Edmund on 29 July, saying that William had sailed that morning for Jamaica and that he expected to be in Liverpool again in the course of 6 or 7 months.  This indicates that Edmund was writing from Liverpool.
 
William wrote to his brother Robert on 14 June 1849, enclosing five pounds for Edmund.  The letter was about emigration from Ireland to Argentina, so the payment may have related to Edmund’s intention to emigrate.

Edmund was issued a passport at Liverpool by Brazilian Consul General on 15 Feb 1850 - also named on the document were Peter Connor, Anastasia Connor, Andrew Kelly and Elizabeth Kelly (but the writing is difficult to read). Edmund was 45 years old, 68 inches (1.72m) tall, had blue eyes, a regular nose and an oval face with a thick beard.

Edmund Sinnot is named as one of the first settlers in colônia Dom Pedro II in a document dated 23 Feb 1850 which is in the  Instituto Histórico do Rio Grande do Sul.  The document is a report by the surveyor that measured the settlers' land parcels. Edmund is one of the 35 first settlers. His "dacta" (land parcel) was number 5. Also noted on the document are:
Nicholas Murphy - dacta no. 3;
Hugh Pierce - dacta no. 7;
Diogo Main - dacta no. 47;
and 4 with birth names cut off: Kerwin, Myler, Rogers, Parle.
This information and photo of the document was provided by Adelia Yates in Sep 2015.

Adelia had earlier advised that, in 1852, Edmund arrived at Monte Bonito Colony in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil.  He arrived on the ship "Irene", but it was probably not an ocean-going ship, more likely it travelled from Rio de Janiero.  Nothing is known of his time at the colony, and it may be doubtful if he was there, in light of the evidence of his settling at Dom Pedro II.

He later married Elizabete and there are now many Sinnott descendants in Brazil. Edmund was known as Edmundo in Brazil.

There is an old dam at Monte Bonito, known as the Sinnott dam. It is owned by Serviço Autônomo de Saneamento de Pelotas (SANEP), a provider of drinking water to the public.

A researcher in Pelotas, Brazil has found more details about an Edmund Sinnott. He is said to have married Helen in Ireland, then the couple emigrated to Brazil. His 2nd marriage was in Brazil, to Elisabete Herlles, and they had 3 sons:
Anibal born 1857, married Helena Meyler;
Miguel born 1852 married Ana Anicetti; and
André.

In a collection of Edmund's letters held by a descendant in Brazil is a form letter dated 8 Apr 1854 concerning the Wexford New Catholic Churches - the Immaculate Conception and St John the Baptist at Rowe Street, and the Assumption, St Michael, St Patrick and St Bridget at King Street. In the letter, James Roche P.P. quotes a Papal benediction and asks for donations towards the two new Parochial churches of Wexford.

Edmund received a letter dated 15 Nov 1872 from James Roche P.P. regarding subscribers in Monte Bonito to Wexford churches

Edmund subscribed to the Roman Catholic magazine "The Weekly Register" (Jul-Dec 1885, receipt 16 Oct 1886) based in London. The subscription receipt was for £1 12 6d, so probably included the cost of postage to Brazil for the 26 weekly editions (cost 6s 6d at 3d each).

Edmund and his wife Elisabete both died before 1894.


In a letter dated 31 July 1840 from Michael Sinnott to his brother Robert, Edmund is mentioned as having a letter received by Michael on 30 July, 1840. William went with a picture to Edmund on 5 July; Edmund was very happy with it (this presumably took place in Liverpool while William was in port). Michael says that the contents of letters from Robert and Edmund make up the deficiencies of William's as regards news of Ireland.

Edmund (son of Michael Sinnot and Mary Murphy) is assumed to be the same person as Edmundo Sinnott of Brazil (married Elizabete), on a chart provided by Roberto de Castro Sinnott to Rex Sinnott in October 2011. All of the information on Edmund's descendants is from Roberto.

Edward was 22 when his father died on 30 Jun 1599 (Lodge (1754), page 256, footnote (b)). Edward was Baron of Kayre in County Wexford.

According to John Burke, A Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Commoners of Great Britain and Ireland vol II (London, England, R. Bentley (for Henry Colburn), 1836) at page 124 - Shee of Cloran:
'Catherine, the eldest, who espoused Edward Butler, of Moneyham, in the county of Wexford, eldest son of Pierce Butler, third son of Richard, first Viscount Mountgarret, which Edward died 9th September, 1628, leaving issue, Pierce, Richard, Mary, and Joan.'

Eleanor arrived in NZ 1866 after having spent 13 years in USA and Canada.

Her obituary in the NZ Herald of 18 Nov 1914 read:
'The death of Mrs Eleanor Mossman occurred in a private hospital in Hastings on Saturday. Mrs Mossman was born on the Dilworth family estate in Dungannan, north of Ireland, and was a sister of the late Mr. James Dilworth, of Remuera, and was the only surviving member of the family. Her husband predeceased her by some years, having attained the age of 100 years, while Mrs. Mossman was 96 years of age. A son of the deceased lady is Mr. W. J. Mossman, of Ellerslie.'

Elenor was the daughter of John Boleyn - the same family as Anne Boleyn (c. 1501 – 19 May 1536), Queen of England from 1533 to 1536 as the second wife of King Henry VIII and Marquess of Pembroke in her own right. 
Bolane, Elenor (I8080)

Elinor is named as the child of Michael [Synnot] and Mary Hore: P. Hore Synnott Pedigree (1913), page 10.

Elisabeth Walter was born about 1843 in Ulzburg, Kaltenkirchen in the duchy of Schleswig Holstein, Denmark. The town is situated 13 miles north-north-west of Hamburg, Germany, near the Kiel Canal. The controversial duchies of Schleswig and Holstein were seized by Prussia (now part of Germany) from Denmark after border skirmishes starting in 1848. Part of the duchy returned to Denmark following a 1905 plebiscite taken of the population.

Elisabeth was the daughter of Heinrich Walter with her mother’s maiden name being Mohr. In 1866, Elisabeth married Hans Heinrich Pohlmann in Schleswig Holstein, which was now part of Germany.

Prior to their departure for Australia, Hans and Elisabeth had two children, Christina Helena and Marie Elisabeth.

On 16 Jul 1870, the family embarked in Hamburg, on the ship Humboldt, with Elisabeth’s parents and Hans' brother Johann Heinrich, bound for Moreton Bay, Queensland. On arrival they all settled in Maryborough, Queensland.

On 20 Feb 1873, Elisabeth gave birth to a son, Heinrich Louis. However Elisabeth had little time with her son as she died of typhoid fever on 5 May 1873. The following day she was interred in the old cemetery, Maryborough (Plot 273). Heinrich Louis died on 22 Oct 1873. 
Walter, Elisabeth (I7084)

Eliza married William Richardson in 1847 - she was 24, he was aged 41. Eliza’s father was John Berry, a maltster from the well-known Berry family of Huddersfield, and her mother was Margaret Stirk.

In the 1851 census Eliza, William and their children Hilda Margaret and Mary Ellen were at 16 Market Place, Huddersfield. Perhaps Eliza had arranged for the removal of the two older children (Sarah Jane and Albert), now with two young children of her own to care for as well as being pregnant with her third child. Theresa Clare was born later that year, but did not survive infancy.

Eliza, William and the 4 surviving children emigrated to Victoria, Australia on the ship Ajax in 1853.

More children were born to Eliza and William but, sadly, none of them survived past childhood:
In 1856, John Berry Richardson was buried in a pauper babies’ grave in 1856, and in 1861 and 1862 three year old Bernard and 18 month old Eliza Harriet died at the Caledonian Hotel. The family was particularly sensitive about Eliza Harriet’s death: her death notice spelt out that she died of “dysentery brought on by teething.”
Bernard Richardson was buried in the Sinnott family grave confirming Sarah Jane’s continuing influence within the Richardson family. Little Eliza Harriet’s final resting place is yet to be found. Melbourne General Cemetery is the most likely place but it has no record of her.

In 1878 Eliza Richardson died at Napier Street, Emerald Hill from complications arising out of a strangulated hernia. She was 55 years old. In the probate documents, she was described as a wife (not a widow) but her husband William is stated to be living in East Melbourne. At the time of her death, Eliza Richardson owned two “run down” properties. Her estate was distributed between her two daughters, Hilda Margaret and Mary Ellen and her granddaughter Phoebe (Hilda Margaret’s daughter.)

Her husband William Richardson was not listed as the executor of her will, possibly suggesting either estrangement or lack of legal capacity – he would have been aged 72. The fact that the properties had been allowed to run down suggests estrangement. Eliza may not have had access to the handyman skills of William Albert’s father in law, James Mackereth.

Eliza has a large and impressive headstone in Melbourne General Cemetery. Her husband William is not buried there. 
Berry, Eliza (I3527)

Eliza was at the same address as her parents in the 1841 census. Her marriage to John Ward in 1841 was presumably later than the census date - 6 June.

At the time of the 1851 census, Eliza was a widow. She had her children Betsey (3) and John (9 months) with her, but daughter Jane (7) was with her grandmother Elizabeth Brumpton.

Elizabeth died on 24 Mar 1769 according to a family tree on ancestry.com. It is likely that this is a reference to her burial date which is recorded on the Riccall Parish Register. 
Turpin, Elizabeth (I9700)

Elizabeth is named in her father Thomas's will of 1624. She was the primary beneficiary, in spite of having two brothers. 
Synnot, Elizabeth (I12648)

Elizabeth was born four months after the death of her father. Her ancestry was of middle- class level, being descended from farmers and parish clerks.

Ellen had a short life, and little is known about her. She was born in Huddersfield in Dec 1813, and baptised at St Peter (Church of England), Huddersfield in Feb 1814. She was 8th of the 9 children of Mark Hirst and Elizabeth Littlewood. Mark worked as a clothes dresser.

William and Ellen married in Huddersfield at St Patricks Cathedral (Roman Catholic) on 20 Jul 1836, and at St Pauls Church (Church of England) the following day. Ellen gave her occupation as dressmaker.

The first marriage was announced in the Leeds Times on Sat 30 Jul 1836:
'On Wednesday week, at the Roman Catholic Chapel, Mr Richardson, shopman to Mr Bates, silversmith, to Miss Hirst, both of Huddersfield.'

On 31 May 1837 their first child Sarah Jane was born. She was christened at St Patrick’s Catholic Church in Huddersfield on 16 July 1837.

Sarah’s brother William Albert was born on 17 June 1839. He was christened at St Patricks on 14 Jul 1839.

William and Ellen’s third child Ellen Hirst Richardson was born on 26 Mar 1845 and was baptised at St Patricks on 10 April, 3 days after her mother Ellen died. The infant died a short time later. The England death index for Apr-May 1845 has Ellen Richardson and her daughter Ellen Hirst Richardson on the same page. 
Hirst, Ellen (I76)
 
187

Ellen was identified as a child of the family of William & Mary Rossiter from her 1901 death entry. The informant was her sister Anastasia Rossiter, present at death, who lived at Newtown. The death entry gave Ellen's age as 46 i.e. she was born about 1863, probably before civil registration started in 1864.

Emma, born in 1835, was the 4th child of Robert Mitchell and Sarah Weston. It appears that she and Robert were the only two to survive to adulthood, as there is no trace of the other two, John and Mary, after their christenings.

In the 1841 census she was with her brother Robert and their parents in Mary St, St Pancras, London.

In the 1851 census Emma was at 8 Mary Street, Pancras, with her brother, parents, and a visitor James Hamilton. The census form noted that Emma had been born in Somerset, was 16 years old, and her occupation was Teacher French.

When Emma married Richard Cliff Francis Pheney in 1856, she was a minor, a spinster and her residence at the time of marriage was Mary St.

Emma, Richard and their children Frances and Emma emigrated to New Zealand in the 1860s. The Auckland Area Passenger Arrivals 1838-1883 (Auckland City Library) includes the Mary Shepherd which arrived on 5 March 1867, and which had departed originally from London. On board were:
Mrs F. Pheney and child [Marie Louise Pheney, widow of Richard’s brother Francis, and her daughter Louise Caroline Emma]
Mr & Mrs R. Pheney and 2 daughters
They then sailed from Manukau on the Rangatira to New Plymouth on 16/3/67.

After Richard died in 1869, Emma took Frances, Emma and Robert to England. In the 1871 UK Census for St. Pancras, Ward 4, Marylebone the entry for 168 Stanhope St listed Emma Pheney, Head, Widow, age 35, Governess, Born London.

The family returned to New Zealand in the 1880s. First came the oldest child, Frances, who celebrated her 21st birthday on the trip on the Dallam Tower in 1878. Emma, Emma Mildred and Robert came later. Emma and Emma Mildred were saloon passengers on the ship Oamaru which arrived in Auckland on 23 Nov 1884. The Auckland Area Passenger Arrivals 1838-1883 (Auckland City Library) includes the Oamaru which departed London for Auckland and arrived on 23 Nov 1884:
"Mrs E. Pheney and Miss Pheney."

It seems logical that Robert (then 17 years old) would have been with them, but he is not on the passenger list - perhaps he was in steerage. Details on the trip are sketchy.

Constance Howell (Emma’s granddaughter) said that she lived with Emma while at Grammar School in Auckland. According to Constance, Emma came out from England with husband Richard, an artist, plus 3 children Frances, Emma Mildred and Robert. They lived at New Plymouth. Emma was fluent in French, and was said to have spent some time in France earlier in her life. Her sister-in-law Marie Louise Donnini was French.

According to electoral roll entries, in 1894 Emma was living at Home St, Eden in 1896 and 1899 she was at Howe St, Auckland City, and in 1911 in Home St, Grey Lynn.

Constance Howell remembered her mother going from Waiwera to Auckland when Emma was very ill, and that she died while Connie was a child. In fact, Emma died in 1921, when Constance was 29.

The executor of Emma’s will was her son Robert, and the beneficiaries were her children Robert, Frances and Emma.

Esther was born on 30 June 1827 in Antrim, North Belfast. She was previously engaged to her future brother-in law Thomas Mossman, she then looked after her mother who was unwell, broke off her engagement and became re-engaged to a local farmer George Evans and moved to California where they were married in 1852.
George Evans was born in Wales in 1819 he died in California in 1870.
Esther and George Evans had the following children:
Andrew Evans born 8 May 1853 in California, he died on 10 November 1928;
Urcilla Evans born in San Francisco 24 September 1853, She died 18 May 1925 in Idaho;
John James Evans born 20 January 1858 California, died 1941 in Los Angeles;
William Dilworth Evans born 24 March 1862 San Bernadino California, died 2 February 1940 in Idaho.
Esther and George Evans came to New Zealand in 1864 with their 3 sons leaving their daughter Ursilla with Esther’s sister Urcilla in Utah. Esther and George lived with Esther’s brother Andrew in the Waitakeres while her 2 older boys spent the school term with their uncle and aunt, James and Isabella Dilworth. Andrew, their oldest son, did not see eye to eye with his uncle whom he found too harsh and uncompromising. Esther was also unable to tolerate her brother’s attitude and chose to return to America, they initially left their youngest son William in NZ with his uncle but this did not work out for them and he to returned to his family in the States.
