Hi all, I've been lurking for a while, and thought I'd post a branch with which I've come to a standstill. James McGill/Magill married Jane Lawson. They had 7 daughters and 1 son. The only names I have for their children so far, are: Ellen (c. 1811- 1880) married John Bailey (Native of Donagh County Monaghan - parents John Bailey and Mary Boyle). Jane (c. 1814- 1879) married William Gordon (Native of Belfast - parents David & Mary Gordon) - my Gt Gt Gt grandparents. Anne (? - 1898) married William Waugh. James McGill (c. 1787 - 1865) was the son of Henry and Sarah McGill, and Jane Lawson (c.1784-1861) was the daughter of Samuel and Jane Lawson. James death certificate, and Ellen's shipping papers state that they were born in County Monaghan, but no place is recorded. Ellen and her husband, migrated to Australia in 1840, followed by Jane and her husband in 1842, then Anne who married in Australia in 1850, and finally James & Jane came out in 1857. I have not been able to find any information on the other 4 daughters or the son. I look forward to hearing from someone who may be able to fill in some gaps. I will be glad to provide details about these families in Australia. Regards, Penny Canberra Australia
