Carolyn I cannot help you with information on the ship but the name McQuoid is very close to the spelling of McCoid that is my mother's maiden name - my research on my McCoid's is scant as my grandfather was the first to arrive in Australia but he was from Glasgow - this was the family that I first started with and since then we have had 2 moves and my research is still packed away after the latest move. I made a conscious decision to work on all Australian lines as this was the most practical whilst dealing with children and huge moves. >From memory my McCoid line can be traced back to Ireland - I know that there is a direct connection to my line in NZ and also in England - also from memory the name has popped up in the US and Canada. Sorry I cannot be of more help at the moment as I really wouldn't know what box to look in at this point in time. Lynette
