Patrick McDermott (1819 - )
Patrick McDermott was around 1819 in County Cavan in Ireland.
He married Bridget Kettle in Dundee Scotland in 1850. Brigit was also born in County Cavan around 1831. It is unknown how they met, or why they were living in Dundee when they married.
It has not been possible to find immigration records for the couple, or for that matter Scotland census records for 1841 or 1851
It is confirmed from birth records that the family was living at Union Street in Sydney between 1854 and 1859.
In that period it appears that Patrick was working as a labourer.
There is limited information available on the family between 1859 and 1882 when Patrick is found in Tenterfield NSW.
Patrick and Brigid had 4 known children (3 sons and 1 daughter) between 1854 and 1959
