Hello Listers I am researching the Darragh Family of Wollongong and later Candelo and the Richmond River area. Felix arrived in the Colony in 1841. He and his wife Alice and children Margaret aged 4 years and John 7 months arrived on the "James Mathison" on 14 March 1841. He was shown on ship's records as a Farmer/labourer , RC and his mother Mary as a widow. He was born 1805 in Lurgan County Armagh, Ireland and married Alice McGee there. They travelled to Wollongong to join his father, John, at Figtree in the Illawarra on John' s 50 acre land grant. John had married Mary Wade, convict, "Woodman"1823. After John's death in 1858 Felix moved to Candelo and purchased land which he called "Shamrock Vale". His sons moved to to Kyogle in 1900 and his son William Francis McGee purchased 470 acres of the Wyangarie Estate. I had received an email from somebody interested in the Darragh family - they were from the Darrough (?) line but due to computer troubles I have lost the email. If it was from somebody on this list could you please contact me again. Regards Joanne
