Hi there! My two greats grandparents came out to Queensland in 1863, with 7 children and despite a measles epidemic all of them survived the trip! They were on the "Montmorency" and my great grandfather was born here. All the children were baptised in St Patrick's Ballymacarret Co Down. We are assuming that Samuel and Elizabeth (nee Roseman) Reid, were married there in 1840. Can anyone help me with finding out more!! I live in Queensland Australia and it is really hard searching from this end of the world!!
