I am seeking information of Patrick Maloney born about 1821 and his wife Mary McGann (father Coleman McGann) born about 1832, married at Clare about 1853 and came to Australia about 1854. He died in 1898 and is buried at Buninyong Cemetery with Mary who died in 1893. They had 9 children John 1854 Eureka, Matilda 1856 Ballarat, Michael 1857 Buninyong, Nora 1859-1860 Buninyong, Anora 1861 Buninyong, Mary, Margaret 1862, Patrick William 1868 Buninyong, Ellen 1870 Buninyong. Regards Jackie

People need to be aware of the difference between Indexes and Digitised Images. About two years ago NSW released digitised images of original records for Assisted migration. And despite their site saying 1838-1896, there are actually images from 1828. Queensland Archives have recently done the same, but I'm not sure if they've finished. South Australia don't yet have images, but they have recently updated search facility on The Ships List. Unfortunately, unless something has happened recently, there are no online digitised images for Victoria. So I'm guessing you can only view them at Victorian Archives Office. For NSW, Ancestry has two sets of images. One is the same source as NSW archives, but the other has much more data. You need to look at both. Just don't believe their transcriptions. Almost every one I've seen has dittoed the top place of origin to everybody else on the page. Also note that until mid 1850's everything was centrally recorded in Sydney. So check NSW archives for early arrivals in Victoria or Queensland. Peter
