Hi everyone, I found an Owen McOwen recently who had arrived in Hobart (apparently) on the Countess of Harcourt in 1821. I was desperately hoping that perhaps he might be the father of an ancestor of mine Catherine McQuonn (whose father was listed as Owen), but was so disappointed when I couldn’t find any record of him on the Tasmanian Archives site. Does anyone know how I might be able to find out more about him? Or why he might not be on the Tasmanian Archives site if he arrived in Tasmania? Thank you, any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Tamara Where did you find the reference to Owen McOwen per 'Countess of Harcourt'? The only remotely possible person on board 'Countess of Harcourt' is John OWEN.
