Is there anyone researching John Lewis and his wife Catherine Hickey from Peterswell Kilthomas? Co Galway and they were Roman Catholic I cannot find when they married but their daughter Margaret Esther was born c.1839. She migrated to Australia in 1856 on board the Ocean Monarch and married William Tasker 1857 in Victoria. On board the ship was a Catherine Hickey aged 17 perhaps her sister? Any information on the family would be greatly appreciated :)

If you have a subs to Ancestry, you can review a family tree for him here www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/119526560/person/120183083908/facts There are lots of links to documents included there and also includes a photo for this Michael Lewis.

Thank you for that wonderful information I will certainly chase it up as Margaret and her family have been a brick wall for many many years.

Can you list all the information on this marriage certificate. Witnesses name would be useful in an era of chain migration.
