    3. Searching for information on the following families GALLAGHER/RIGNEY in Offaly c.1830s. Maria Gallagher, age 17, married Charles SMITH at Tarraville, Victoria in 1856 giving John Gallagher and Bridget Rigney as her parents and a birthplace which was recorded on the marriage certificate as 'Gillin', King's County. NOLAN/CONNELLY in Galway c. 1830s. Maria Nolan, age 33, married Donald Mc Pherson at Stawell, Victoria in 1864 giving Peter Noland and Bridget Connelly as her parents but just 'Galway' as her birthplace. MOORE/PHILLIS (FELLOWS?) in Antrim c. 1820s. Jane Moore, age 28, married James Anderson at Melbourne, Victoria in 1854 giving Samuel Moore and Elizabeth Phillis as her parents and birthplace as Broughshane, Antrim. James Anderson had been widowed in 1853 and it is possible that Jane was a close relation (cousin perhaps) of his first wife. While the surname Phillis is known in that region of Antrim, it is not common and is occasionally encountered as Fillis. It also appears to be a variant of Fellow(e)s. Any help or suggestions re tracing the above would be appreciated. Peter, the older of the tworobbos @ Bairnsdale, gateway to the mountains, lakes, streams (and remnant forests) of East Gippsland
