You're also very welcome  :)

Did you work out your grandmother's date and place of birth?

Still not 100 percent sure..either born in 1899 to John and Elizabeth Murray (nee Cavanagh) in North Road, Drogheda or born in 1895 to John and Mary Ann Murray (nee Kennedy) in Dermotstown.

For both, there exists family records in the 1901 and 1911 census.

What we do know is that she travelled alone to Australia to start a new life on board the Bendigo in 1928. The passage record states that she was 33, so born in 1895.

Different times of course but to travel all that way, alone and arrive in Melbourne at the peak of summer, not knowing anyone ..it must have been very hard on her.
