After having searched for my Great GG Grandmother for a number of years on the 05 July,2005 I received Information that Margaret, William and Michael GANNON arrived in the Colony of New South Wales on the NORTH BRITON in 1839. Check of Microfilm records shows #1 Margaret GANNON arrived by the Ship North Briton , was bought out by the Govt, a Native of Co. Kildare, daughter of William, a Miller and Ellen Whelan his wife, both dead. Calling House Servant, aged 24 years. Illiterate #2 William GANNON arrived by the Ship North Briton , was bought out by the Govt, a Native of Co. Kildare, son of William a farmer and Mary his wife, Ploughman aged 23 years. Illiterate #3 Michael GANNON arrived by the Ship North Briton , was bought out by the Govt, a Native of Co. Kildare Parish of New Bridge, son of William a Labourer and Ellen his wife, Ploughman aged 30 years Literate, Would anyone have further information on any of these people. Margaret is my Great GG Grandmother who married Hugh CONLAN of Ballibay Co. Monaghan at Berrima New South Wales on the 24/06/1840. I surmise that the three of them were related either Brothers and Sister or cousins. Any futher information would be much appreciated Barry
