Can't find any more children to either of the "odd" sets of parents either. You can get in contact off the list if you wish, need more look ups - this may be pretty boring for others unless they have some suggestions about what is going on. That first onewho died born shortly after marriage, I think is thers and the mother's previous surname is "wrong" - may be she was marreid before and Meagher and Hassett however you want to spell it are her previous married name and maiden name.. Butif so, nothing obvious on the index in Victoria.

I thought it would be best to check if there was a James Russell and Mary McGrath. Could you do me one more favour and see if you can find the marriage for Edward Healy's parents James Healey and Sarah Hassett and the birth of Edward Healey c 1865 in Victoria & any siblings.
