Dear FG Listers, My gg grandfather William Henry was killed on board the ship "Bee" in September 1855 two weeks into the family's 16 week voyage from Liverpool to New South Wales. While I have the details of his death from the Immigration Commissioner's reports, there is no mention of his birthplace, parents, or siblings, and no death certificate that I can find. William was born about 1815 and married Mary Emery by license at St. Mary's CI Church, Ardess on 21st May, 1834. William's abode was recorded as Dromore Parish & Mary's as Edenclaw More, Parish of Magheraculmoney. On arrival in Sydney on 6th January 1856, the Native Places and ages of the family were given as; Mary, 39 Magheraculmoney; Matilda, 19 Dromore Tyrone; Isabella, 17 Dromore Tyrone; Anne,13 Dromore, Tyrone; John J, 11 Dromore Tyrone; Margaret J, 9 Magheraculmoney, Fermanagh; William, 7 Magheraculmoney, Fermanagh: Mary J, 4 Magheraculmoney, Fermanagh. Mary Henry died at Kiama, NSW in 1890 having never re-married, her death certificate does not mention any other children. I have not been able to find baptism records for these folks in the IGP records, so would be very grateful for any clues as to where to find out more about our William Henry. Best regards, Lester Hamilton

Hi Lester, I guess you have already raided the Family History Society at Kiama?? I am related to an Emry but they came from Pettigo on the border with Fermanagh /Donegal Eilish On 21/03/2015 5:32 PM, Lester Hamilton via wrote: > Dear FG Listers, > > My gg grandfather William Henry was killed on board the ship "Bee" in > September 1855 two weeks into the family's 16 week voyage from Liverpool to > New South Wales.

Hi Lester I am currently researching ancestors who were also from the Parish of Dromore (Co Tyrone) and unfortunately CI Dromore Parish records were destroyed in the Public Records office fire. Although Presbyterian Church records do exist from 1835.
