I would be interested to hear from anyone on the list researching the surnames JOHNSON and RITCHIE. I'm tracing Samuel JOHNSON born Newcastle, Northern Ireland who married Eleanor RITCHIE born 1797 - they married in 1st Presbyterian Church Donegore, Antrim on 10 June 1823. Eleanor migrated to Australia in 1864-65. Samuel (Snr), I believe, died in Northern Ireland. Their family consisted of Jane born 1825; John born Belfast 1826; Mary who died in infancy; James born 1828 and later went to USA; Nancy; Mary born 1834 and later went to USA; Mary born 1834; Samuel (my great grandfather) born Antrim 1840 and Joseph born Antrim 1842. To my knowledge John arrived in Australia 1853; Samuel and Joseph about 1864 and their mother Eleanor around 1864-65. Any information will be gratefully received.
