Dave you most likely have seen them but in the VIC archives online are the copy of their wills.

Still looking for the passenger lists for them, just got a bit sidetracked

Thanks gibbo.

That must be Margaret.

I have the harder job of looking for a NZ arrival. :2fun: No name index.

 

[DaveHam9]

As well as James Micheal brother John b. 1839 and sister Mary Ann b. 1853 arrived and lived in Victoria.

Name could be KILFEDDER.

There are several trees and no one has found any of them yet.
