Hello again,

Yes, have tried Shipping Records to all Aust. ports. No records of family travelling together, so have assumed that Michael and Patrick, brothers, have travelled without parents, which would make them older, perhaps looking for work. My quest is to find them as a family unit in Kilkenny, thus determining their Irish background. I feel that the parents did not emigrate to Australia. (A 1925 Electoral Roll shows Patrick, electrician, living with Michael and Florence Cassidy in Brisbane, Queensland). Thanks so very much for your help.

Can anyone help with information on James Wark, born about 1786 and Margaret Brock, born abt 1812?
They were married abt 1835.
The family lived in the Bute, Scotland area.

Hello Lucia,
I am seeking info re James George STEPHEN born Montrose 17 July 1898. Parents were
John & Eliza. Siblings were Elizabeth, Jean, Meg & Helen. 1901 Census shows family at Balnabriech Cottar House, (no street given). Don't seem to be able to find a later Census.
James joined the Black Watch in WW1, then later the French Foreign Legion.
He emigrated to Australia after the war - date unknown.

Many thanks, June.

Thanks, Karenlee. I'll check out that Census.
