Kat, this is tremendous stuff. Thanks for sharing. What I think you've done is offer clues as to the Lurgan/Country Down branches of the Levingston/Livingstone family tree, but we haven't yet settled on a clear image of the trunk. We have closely established the roots (ie, from about 1890s onwards after migration to Australia), but there is a gap between the base of the tree and the limbs.

We have found a William Levingston who managed lands for Lord Lurgan, and believe that all of the Levingstons/Livingstones are from the same family. One of these (John Levingston/Livingstone) made his way to Australia in the 1890s, but from which branch of the family we don't know. Are there shipping records/passenger lists we can access from around this period?

Thank you again for your assistance.

Kind regards
