This is my first post to this List and I hope someone can assist me with an unusual surname. I am researching my husband's family and he has a g-g-grandmother Sarah born c1817 in Armagh. On several family marriage & death certificates her surname is spelt 'McEleveney', 'McElveny', McKillveney' and also 'McAlberness'. I have searched for these names on the Internet with little success. Can anyone suggest an Armagh surname, that may be correct. Thanks Alison Armstrong alisona@netspace.net.au

Can you tell me more about the family? I have a Catherine McIleavy/McLevy/McAleavy in Armagh who married a Francis McShane and had Patrick McShane who married Janet Brown in Scotland. Wonder if it is the same family.

Hi Catherine Thank you for your quick reply to my query. I have only a few details on Sarah, that I have found on Victorian ( Australia ) marriage certificates of her children and then her death certificate. >From her 1892 Death certificate : Sarah born c1817 Armagh Ireland. Father George McAlberness ( ??? ) & mother Mary Harris. Sarah died in Melbourne 1892 a Widow. No date or place of marriage. Her estimated number of years in the colony was 53 ( i.e arrival c1839 ). I have found no Australian marriage. Her husband was William Ewing. No information on this person, as I haven't discovered his death certificate. Arrived in Melbourne, Australia 1843 or before. I have found no immigration details on Sarah or her husband. Children : Elizabeth bapt. 1843 St James C of E Melbourne ( no details other than parents name & occupation ( groom ) Mary bapt. 1846 St James C of E Melbourne ( no details other than parents name & occupation ( ??? ) William bapt. 1849 St James C of E Melbourne ( no details other than parents name & occupation ( coachman ) George bapt 1852 St James C of E Melbourne ( no details other than parents name & occupation ( groom ) ( prior in civil registration in Victoria, so no details of age, marriage & place of birth of parents ). Children's Marriage Certificates : Sarah's surname on certificates was spelt : McElveny ( 1864 ), McElveny ( 1868 ), McKilveny ( 1870 )& McVeney ( 1880 ). I hope this is of some assistance.
