My grandmother was born Jane Whitty in Redfern NSW but weas raised by her father's family the Bennett family in Penrith NSW Australia. I have done a little research on her mothers Whitty line. Her mother's name was Emily Anne Whitty born in or near Maitland NSW. She was one of four children. Her parents were John Whitty and Bridget Whaten who were staunch Irish Catholic. I haven't been able to trace the Whitty name in Ireland as records of the early 1800's are pretty scarce. I know John was supposely born in Waterford which is apparently southern Ireland.
