from Ireland to Australia
« on: Friday 10 March 06 00:09 GMT (UK) »
 I am trying to find how my gggrandfather came to Australia. Unsure if a convict or not.
 Michael McGrath born Shallee/Newport Tipperary 1821
 Married Sarah Cosgrove 1852  in Melbourne 1852
 Apparently had a hotel in high Street Sandhurst/Bendigo
He also went to New Zealand about 1860's. Anyone able to help me here?

Hi Ashazoe

There is a Michael McGRATH who arrived Jun 1841 as an assisted passenger on the 'Duchess of Northumberland'
There are 2 references age given as 18 & 19.

I'm going to the library tomorrow will check the passenger list for you.

Cheers
Genni

Hi

The Michael McGrath on the 'Duchess of Northumberland" was from County Clare.

Hi ,
 Not sure whether the offspring of Sarah and Michael and Eliza and William (per your other thread) are of interest or you already have.  I do not have access to full deatails, but others do.  However, it looks as if there are at least 3 birth entries for Sarah and Michael between 1852 and 1872 and one seems to be in Bendigo.
William Frewen and ELIZABETH (nee Cosgrove) also have 3 Victorian births.
