Hello Peter, I am sorry I can't find a reference to the 'Maryborough' in my library but there are many sites on the net which will be useful to you, go to www.google.com as a search engine & type in Maryborough+ship, you will find ship's pictures by using the name of Nick Vine Hall he runs a search & supply photo company for ship's pictures. You might like to look at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich which has drawings & prints of some 63,000 images their site is www.nmm.ac.uk/ . There are many books written about the life on board for immigrants & these can usually be accessed through your local library or through inter library loan or your local Family Hist./Gen. Society if you are a member, I am currently reading 'Far off in sunlit places' by Jim Hewitson, stories of the Scots in Aust. & NZ. whilst it is not a book strictly about life on board it does give you an insight about what our ancestors were leaving behind & how they coped in Aust. particularly interesting if you have Scots ancestors, as lots of names are mentioned.

I am researching the families of Michael SHARKEY b Coughaneely, Donegal b c1832 son of Patrick Sharkey and Mary Brogan Rose DUGAN (DUGGAN, DOOGAN) b Gweedore, Donegal c 1851 daughter of Edwards and Rose Dugan Michael and Rose married in Maitland NSW in 1870 I am interested in info about these families in Ireland and Australia Rosemary

My paternal Grandfather John TYRRELL was b. abt 1846 [That if the info on his death/Marriage certs is correct] in Summerhill County Meath Ireland, the son of John TYRRELL - Dorothea BRUTON. I am having trouble finding his shipping records [if there are any] - I have calculated his arrival in Australia abt 1864-1870. The church records [1893] states he is the SECOND son of John Tyrrell of Monalve County Meath Ireland and a widower. He appears to have travelled between South Australia/Wilcannia/Ryde and I believe was interested in opal/gold mining???? His first wife Mary ? d 1891 in Adelaide with their residence noted as Wilcannia NSW which was his address in 1893 when he married my grandmother - Maria [Mary] GOONREY [GOONRY] c 1866 Athboy [also Balliver] County Meath Ireland the daughter of Michael GOONREY - Marcella DARBY. She arrived 1886 on board 'Port Victor' with brother James. Her siblings were: James: c 1857- Balliver Co Meath d 1908 Wilcania NSW Catherine: c 1857- Balliver Co. Meath Patrick: b abt 1863- Co. Meath d 1894 Ryde Aust Michael: b 1864 - Athboy Co. Meath Owen: b abt 1868- Thomas: b abt 1870- If anyone is interested or connected to these families or can be of any assistance - even with advice of what I should do next will be greatly appreciated. Grateful Meg.

All my ancestors are Irish, as are my children's and one family of my grandchildren's so I am researching many Irish names: Ahearn, Cronin, O'Brien, Shea in the Ardfinannan/Ballybacon area of Co Tipperary specifically Gormanstown & Kildanogue; Keeshan, Leonard, Maher, Sullivan in the Roscrea area of Tip & Kilcolman Co Offaly; Delaney,Lynch in Camross, Co Laois, & other associated families including Lalor, Pratt from the Errill/Rathdowney, Co Laois area, particularly those who migrated to the Epping, Wollert area of Victoria; Delaney, Flanagan in Kilmaganny, Co Kilkenny; McNamara, O'Grady in Truagh/ Doonass area of Co Cla & interested in associated families, eg Considine, Hooban, Brennan, Walsh who, like my O'Gradys, migrated to Macclesfield SA; Keating from Rossoulty in Pa. Upperchurch, Co Tip; Tierney from Tipperary. All of the above are my ancestors, or their relatives, and arrived in Australia in the 1850s. The following are my children's and grandchildren's ancestors and the connections are all in Ireland upto the 20C: Doyle, Ryan in Barnacullia, Co Dub; Kelly, Whelan, Dundrum Co Dub; Whelan, Kinnegad, Co Westmeath (19C); McCluskey, Sandford Co Dub; McCluskey, Co Car (19C); Conroy, Sutherland, Mountmellick, Co Laois. Also my d-in law, the remainder of whose ancestors are not Irish, has Mayne from Belfast. Thanks, Maureen Doyle.

Hi Crazy Man Charles At last we utterly agree! PAF 5 is the pits. It sits in my Recycle Bin until I want to download an LDS Gedcom, then I 'restore' it, do the download, export it to PAF 4 and throw it out again.

Richard Delaney b. 1805. Joined 59th Reg. of foot which, in time, became the Nottinghamshire Regiment (2 Bn.). Could have enlisted whist Regt. in area of ENNISKILLEN or GALWAY. Possibly married a girl from TIPPERARY as first son born in 1850 in CLONMEL. Mary Hally b. <1822>. Possibly from TIPPERARY in area of south-east even up to north of county in TEMPLEMORE area. Maybe as far east to WICKLOW. Richard married Mary Hally <1849> before sailing on "Rodney" from Cobh/Queenstown, CORK. Richard might have had a brother, Thomas. Both men eventually lived near one another in Pensioners' Settlement in WESTBURY, Tasm. after 1851. Patrick Ryan, b. 1819-20 Co. TIPPERARY. Arrived Australia either WA or SA, any time before 1848. Parents were William and Mary (nee NOLAN) both of Tipp. Patrick was from a labouring family and became a prospector in BENDIGO/ROCHESTER, later turning to shepherding near COOMA/TATURA Vic. Died 1872. Margaret Frawley b. <1825> Arrived on "Standard" late 1853, SA. A servant girl from Co. CLARE but parents, Edward Frawley and wife Margaret QUINLAN had married in LIMERICK CITY in 1798. Margaret married Patrick Ryan in Melbourne in 1854. ALSO seeking knowledge of EDWARD DELANY/EY son of Richard and Mary Delaney. Born in Tasmania in 1857 Edward moved to Victoria to Rochester area and is known to have married a woman who already had a son CLIVE. Edward died <1928>. Possible marriages were with REBECCA ALICE CATHER DUNCAN who seems to have been earlier an ARCHIBALD or Catherine ZAPELLI in Ballarat c. 1907. Thanks, Julie

Hello to ELEANOR BARRY . My grandfather was Michael Barry from Summer Hill County Meath. He came to Australia twice.He came out first as a companion to a young fellow but according to my mother (his daughter) the fellow "played up" so they went back to Ireland. and Michael came out and stayed.He married in Brisbane in 1898 .His wife was Ellen O'Brien from Limerick. Ihave not been able to find the shipping information as there were so many Michael Barrysand Ellen O'Briens coming to Brisbane at that time. Frances Berg

I suggest you also read "The Long Farewell - Perilous voyages of settlers under sail in the great migrations to Australia" by Don Charlwood which gives a wonderful account of shipboard life at this time as well as many first hand experiences from original letters etc. There is a good index with many ships mentioned too. It should be in most public libraries and has recently been reprinted as a paperback. Cheers Lorraine
