Hi, Have you looked at the shipping record? That should show what County in Ireland she came from. Her death certificate should show how many years she lived in Australia and possibly where she was born & names of parents. Marriage certifiate should also show place of birth, usually county but occasionally town as well. By cross checking these its possible to decide if this is your relation. Certificates for Victoria are $17.50 each and can be downloaded online. Just google BDM from Australia and the government website comes up. I checked the LDS website to see what parish records for Armagh exist and found the following Parochial registers of Shankill, 1822-1881 Catholic Church. Parish of Shankill ( Armagh). Baptisms, 1822-1865 from Lurgan; baptisms, marriages and deaths, 1866-1881 from Shankill. FHL BRITISH Film 926089 Other church records can be found using keyword search - "church records Armagh" Films can be hired at LDS centres and cost about $5 per film which you need to view at one of their centres. Addresses and opening hours on their webpage. http://www.lds.org/portal/site/LDSOrg Richard Elliott was on Griffiths Valuation at Tannaghmore South townland in Shankill parish, County Armagh. Hope something here helps. Regards Brenda in Melbourne ------ Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
