Awesome!  thankyou Sugarbakers.  Yes he is there - Charles McKenna aged 21 born Ireland.  Of course I am not 100% sure it is him.  but other Charles McKenna's in 1861 census do not fit.  He is not far from his sister who is married.  And then in 1865 he emigrates with his sister and her husband and child to Australia.  When he marries in 1870 his occupation is a baker.  I'm not sure if he had that trade before he came to Australia or learned it once he got here.
Thank-you again,
Karen.

Hi,  i wonder if you found much information on the Sugar house workers as i think perhaps jy ancestor may have been one.  And if it is him he lived not far from yours in Maitland Street in 1861 census.
Regards
Karen :)

Hi gypsypotato
Do you know anything much about Elizabeth Millicent HUNT? daughter of Abraham HUNT.  She married Frederick George SPRINGALL in 1861.  Frederick emigrated to Australia in 1865 but without Elizabeth.  Did she die before 1865?

Hi, I don't know if this is of any help, but I have a Baptism record for a James Reddy on Rathclough, Danesfort parish for 1843, and one of the sponsors was an Ellen Welsh.  :-\

Hi - have just found this thread.  It goes away back.
I am interested in the shipping records for the Light of the Age that arrived in 1866.
So it is available at the QSA??  It doesn't appear to have ever been indexed.
My ancestor Charles McKenna I believe was on the boat along with his sister, her husband and son - Ellen and Matthew Carroll (pioneers of the Nambour region).
my ancestor also went to Stanthorpe,
kind regards,
Karen.
