Moray (Elginshire) / Re: George Ellems/Ellims

Could I ask a question about Hugh McPhillimy & Margaret McPhillimy (nee Noble)? I believe I am their direct descendant of their son James McPhillimy 1823- 1893. Are Hugh and Margaret also their children? Do you know if they had any other children? I am trying to find the direct link to the McPhillimy family in Geelong Australia. Would be very grateful for any ideas about where to find further information.
Following on from this comment:
I have found out more about George Ellems's wife Margaret McPhillimy.
It appears that she came to Australia via the ship "William Stewart" from Plymouth, England, arriving in Melbourne in 1848. In the passenger list she is listed as "Margaret McFellamy", aged 20. There is a Hugh McPhilimy aged 23, apparently her brother, on the same vessel.
I have certainly discovered her death certificate too. She died in 1894 as "Mary Henchman" in Ballarat, near Melbourne. Her parents are Hugh McPhillimy & Margaret McPhillimy (nee Noble) and the certificate states she was born in Tyrone, Ireland. Finally, the certificate states her previous marriage to "George Ellims" and 5 children with their ages. Her surname was Henchman as she had a civil marriage to Charles Hinchman.
