Hi
Welcome to Rootschat. The Junk sale find does not relate to the Margaret Bonnyman who married Charles Moane but to a different family namely Margaret Falconer Bonnyman who married Jenkyn Davis Jones in Cardiff, Wales. She was the daughter of James Smith Bonnyman and Agnes Hastings. A couple of trees on Ancestry have incorrect information.
It is possible that your Margaret Bonnyman is descended from Alexander Bonnyman and Sarah Hinchcliffe who came out from Scotland in 1839.

Hi Andy I was wondering were you got this interesting information about margaret bonnyman and charles moane they were my dads grandparents and i have just started to try find relatives and stumbled across this site which is great, if anyone has anymore info it would be greatly appreciated.fingers crossed thanks in advance
Hi
If you are referring to my suggestion that Margaret BONNYMAN may be a descendant of Alexander BONNYMAN and Sarah HINCHCLIFFE then it is just a thought based on the fact that BONNYMAN is not a common name and some of their descendants did live in the Wollongong area.
If you haven't already done so then you need to get a copy of the marriage certificate for Charles MOANE and Margaret BONNYMAN. This should give you the names of her parents including mothers maiden name (William and Elizabeth according to the NSW Death Index) and place of birth. This information will help in going back further
As I said BONNYMAN is not a very common name and many of them originated in North East Scotland (Aberdeenshire and Banffshire)
