Hi Mima,
What else can you tell us ?
Parents Names ?
Where Ellen went to in Victoria and NSW?
Who did she marry ?
Children's names ?
The more info you give us, the more likely we are to find info for you.
Regards
Alison

Mary Mcgrath on the same ship
parents were Edward and Mary from Thurles, Tipperary
relative in the colony Aunt Margaret Fitzgerald in Illawara.
looks like they were not related Bridget and MAry that is
James Mcgrath is Mary Mcgrath brother though same parents and birthplace
Which of the persons on the ship is your actual relative and do you have any certificates, if you have her marriage certificate does it give her age and her parents names?
It is possible seeing as the marriage was in Victoria that she was one of the many Ellen McGraths who arrived in Victoria
did her death certificate state how long in the colonies?
thanks Jenn
