Dear Pete, you too!! I have emailed the source of the ball point pen, BUT feel for sure that my Ellen is the young woman who came to Australia on the Caribou in October 1859( this original info kindly given by R. G. Fairall, of Newcastle), from his help I find Ellen travelled with a sister and a brother and his wife.( Ellen was born in the 1840 and was in Australia to marry in 1863 and was the only llen Ferry to travel in that time frame..I am now trying to get hold of the full extract of details for Irish Orphans to Sydney, as there is a Bridget Ferry mentioned and Ellen's brother named his daughters, one Bridget and two Mary ( their deceased mother) and his son John, after him. All I need on Bridget Ferry is the name of the townland and her father and mothers name, ho, ho, ho - but I believe transcripts do exist with this info HELP----- Thank you all for all your help..., Beverley at Tannum Sands Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, February 23, 2004 3:06 AM Subject: Re: [DONEGAL] Sallemboough in Donegal in the early 1800's > Beverley at [email protected] writes: > > << the Sallemborough was a complete mistake, I believe..I now am SURE my dear > Ellen Ferry came from Dunfanaghy >> > > Beverley, > > I feel sure that "that" interpretation was beyond even my most ridiculous > proposals <gr>.
