I am new to rootsChat and I am unsure weather this will be relevent but I descend from Margaret Emma Risk born about 1842 she married James Knox in 1872 in Shoalhaven NSW Australia Margaret is my great great grandmother, she and her family arrived in australia in 1852 Aboard the vessell Irene, with her was her father Gibson Risk (b. 1816), Mother Jane Risk nee Thompson (b. 1820) her Brother Samuel Gibson Risk, 2 other siblings John aged 6 and Jane aged 1 died on the voyage.
I believe they may be from Domore Anterim Ireland though and Gibson Risks parents may have been Adam Risk and Margaret though these last facts are just heresay and I am trying to verify this information. I am not sure if this is any help to anyone researching the risk family hopefully it will.
