Hi Liam! All I know is that their daughter, Rachel married at Church of England in Richmond, New South Wales in 1845 - so I guess they were Church of Ireland. Best wishes, Judy I have a William LOUGHREY married to Mary Ann NELSON about 1827/28. Their children were born in Buncrana Donegal - Rachel 1828, James 1834 and William 1836. Mary Ann died circa 1836 and William remarried to Ann Murdock. They had Ann Eliza Dec 1838 Londonderry (I think) and then they immigrated to New South Wales, Australia, arriving 15 July 1841 on the ship "Herald". Is anyone researching this family or have any connections? Is Buncrana a Townland or Parish? Can anyone help me with this, please? mailto:sajones@bigpond.net.au For information about my Genealogy Interests: http://sajones.bigblog.com.au/ -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
