Hi Dawn, Thank you for your quick reply. 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.
