Thanks for all this everyone. Firstly the ages of the children on David Glens Cert are 3 males 26,22,17 and 5 females 24,20,12,10,7 the non Roses death cert 3 males 28,23,19 and 5 females 27,21,13,9,3. I think David's are more likely to be correct.Mind you this was David's second marriage and he bought children with him from Londonderry. His first wife Ane Robertson died in 1854 in Londonderry and he married Rose in 1855.

Yes where did Johanna and Francis Bernard MCHugh get together? Was it on the boat as they both were on the Belgravia or did they know one another in Londonderry. They married in 1868 Jan 28 in Napier and moved to Melbourne where they have a family. Like you we now think he was bought up by his grandparents. He is the spitting image of Bernard Francis McHugh as I have seen a picture of him on Ancestory on a tree in Australia but of course my Francis is not mentioned in that tree. Maybe those St Paul Records may show up something when they become available or his military records as you say. He was actually born in Warrington.

Very interesting especially the court case. Looks like they may split for very good reasons. That newspaper article listing the passengers on the Belgravia listed a lot of Reids with David Glen Reid. Would they have all been his family do you think or just all Reid passengers. Could Francis have been born on the ship perhaps.Is there a record of births on ships do you know.?

That's the wedding of Johanna Reid daughter of David Glen Reid and Anne Robertson. It's not my GGrandfathers wedding. He married Margaret Kennedy.

Thank you for that information Magsie. I am visiting Northern Ireland next year and intend visiting the church they married in.
