Thanks Linda I'll try and talk a bit quieter, I'm in Briagolong too, so perhaps I need not yell. My O'Doherty's came to Sale from Ireland and was married in the Catholic church in Sale in the early 1800's, His name was Robert and his date of birth was 1864. He married an Aus born woman called Margaret O'Donohue, who was born in Kynton. I need his parents names and other info. The Armstrongs came from Scotland and settled mainly in Melbourne, their names were Thomas Armstrong and Mary nee Little. But some of their children married into the Buntine family and moved to the Toongabbie area. Any ideas where to look next would be great.
