Thank you to Lilian, Alistair & Tina for your replies. Helen Mcculloch was born in Urray. in the 1841 census it looks like the family was scattered all over place. Now Helen left Liverpool on the St Helena to Australia. On the record she is listed as single female, genl servant from Anagh ROC. Now they got the ROC right. But with all the illiteracy & maybe Helen's accent they have spelt the place wrong & apparently Helen could read but not write. Probably couldn't spell either. Thank you again.
