Hi everyone,

I have found my GR-GR Grandfathers arrival in Australia, but have no idea on where to look before that. Oral family history is the family arrived from County Clare for William to work for the Victorian Railways on the Swan St Railway Bridge.

Any help to point me in the right direction would be appreciated.

MCNAMARA Mary JANE    29 - Second wife?
MCNAMARA PATRICK         20
MCNAMARA JOHN           6   
MCNAMARA THOMAS           4   
MCNAMARA AMELIA Jane 2 - -Died 1856
MCNAMARA WILLIAM       ?   

William's son John married Elizabeth Born
and records show they lived in Creswick/Maryborough

McNamara William Milward   1878
McNamara Albert Robert   1879

McNamara Jane Eliza   1875

My grandfather, Anthony Joseph Patrick McNamara born 1917 was the son of William Milward and Ellen Anastasia Burns.
