I am also interested in Catherine Hatchell of Wexford particularly in whether she is the Catherine Hatchell who married a John McKelvie, sailmaker of Donegal, and had a daughter Ellen or Ellinor who married a John Mongan.
Ellinor and John Mongan came to Australia in around 1838, although he (John) is assumed died on the voyage. They had a number of children with them.
Ellinor was born around 1799 in County Tyrone. A few of children in subsequent generations were given the first name Hatchell
I have read the Goodall journal article about the Hatchells of Ireland and wonder if the Catherine of the first described family (i.e (descendants of Edward)in that articlewho was sister to Alexander, Jane, Margaret and eldest son John was our ancestor ie was the person who married John McKelvie
Be glad to know how your query fits into this - I dont have answers I'm afraid except that dates match to some degree.
