May I suggest that you read "HOW TO REQUEST A LOOKUP" at the top of the board.  We really need a little more information to be able to help you eg where did John and Margaret DEVINE disembark?

Cheers

Thank you for the information, this is my first posting, so realise I should be more specific, I was thinking that maybe someone from that family may have been looking on the site.  I believe these are my ancestors.  My ancestor is John Devine, who was born in Bungendore, NSW in 1849, no record of his birth, but on his death certificate names John and Margaret.  Perhaps he was born soon after they arrived and his birth was not notified!

Helke your John DEVINE was born before civil registration commenced in 1856, and there may not have been a baptism record, there will be no registration on the NSW bdm index.

Here is a link to information on the history of NSW registrations -

Hi Helke,

As the were Roman Catholics I am sure there would be a baptism record somewhere. Try 'googling" Catholic Churches in the area to find where their records may be held.

There is also a possibility he was born on the voyage, so looking at the passenger list may provide clues if you can find one. Often births are listed separately.

Cheers,
Trish

It is my understanding that Maragret Devine dies and John Devine remarries Johanna Coughlan - whose family stayed in the Burrowa area until very recently and who I am a descendant of
