Thanks. I believe the first one is ours.

We have her marrying a William WARE in Collingwood, Melbourne 15 Oct 1849, having 7 children in Melbourne, before coming to Queensland between 1863 and 1865, then having 3 more, the last child born in 1870 in Rockhampton.

We assume Mary died in Queensland somewhere, just don't know where or when.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers
Robyn

Looking for the parents of Mary EVANS (possibly known as Mary Ann EVANS). She was born about 1832, we believe in Cork, Ireland.

She came to Australia on board the "Pemberton" into Port Phillip on 14th May 1849 as one of the "Irish Famine Orphans" ... age was stated as 17 (hence our 1832 approximation of her birth year).

Hoping to find parents ... she must have had some at some point ;-)

Thanks
Cheers
