Ok, 4 brothers and mother fit but where is the arrival before 1866 of the sister?

Also, how was John the depositor for the 1866 group if he died on the 1864 voyage?

Also, how was John the depositor for the 1866 group if he died on the 1864 voyage?

The deposit date was 5 June 1865. John son of James and Ellen was 6 months old.

[DaveHam9]

The deposit date was 5 June 1865.

Yes Geoff and it also says Tenterfield so we are not only missing the earlier arrival of a sister but also the depositor John.

Arrived 26 Sep 1862 'Ocean Empress'
John P McKIRRIGHAN 24 Labourer Drum? Co Tyrone C of E
Robert McKIRRIGHAN 18 Labourer Drum? Co Tyrone C of E

That must be the one who made the deposit.

Was the sister who arrived before 1866 married?

The deposit date was 5 June 1865. John son of James and Ellen was 6 months old.

Not sure of the protocol then, but the deposit could have been made by Mrs John Mckerahan [I appreciate husband John was deceased]

Posible..

Unlikely if post #7 correct..

Andrew Rodgers paid the deposit for John & Robert. That John paid the deposit for brother James.

Nothing showing for that one at mo, Dave... It's a question of going through the name variants

More or less has to be sons john/Robert or son-in-law who paid john and Mary's deposit.. Though would be nice to know for definite

I've just joined looking to find things I don't know. I don't have documents to prove this right now but from memory Andrew Rogers paid for all of them. And I thought John and Mary (William and Edward) were the last to arrive! Will go back through documents later...
