Hi List, Thought I'd post my interests again: Patrick SULLIVAN m. Margaret WARD at St Joseph's Catholic Church, East Maitland in 24 Apr 1843. At the time of her marriage Patrick was living at Allyn River and Margaret was living at Morpeth - witnesses were William FLYNN and Mary FLYNN Possible shipping record for Margaret From the Galway Emigrant Index: WARD Margaret - arrived 1842 aged 20 from Clontuskert - parents Owen & Maria Mary - also known in Ballinasloe. Patrick SULLIVAN was b. abt 1815 in County Clare. The couple's first child was born in Armidale in 1844. So Margaret was only in the area for 2 years but don't know how long Patrick was there for (as you can appreciate, looking for a Patrick SULLIVAN from Ireland, without knowing any other details, is too difficult). All the best, Gail
