Hiya,

Do you have the children of Susan, Mary Ann and Patrick? If not do you want them posted?
Are you in Christchurch? There are several McCloy probates available, the library may be a good source of information as well. If your family is catholic there are good marrige records and there may be information on the index cards, although in my experience the cards don't have alot of catholic information.

Patrick,Mary Anne and Catherine arrived on the Mermaid,the girls were originally listed on the single mens page and tranferred to single women.
The girls passage was free Patrick paid 8 pound 10 shillings.

If you click on the open book above "about this collection" you will open the original manifest

Yep we are Catholic and that seems to be the problem I've got with records back in Nth Ireland as majority
of McCloys there are not Roman Catholic.Trying to find some info on Eliza's parents as Alex is supposed to be her brother.Cheers GJ

Welcome to Rootschat ..... only on here one day and already found someone else on another thread looking for McCloy's

Only problem is you won't be able to make contact with the original poster as she is deceased.


Cheers
