Thank you very much muss. That looks like him bC1828 Kildare Ireland. However others apparently travelling with him do not match known family.
His first wife died Ireland 1866. He remarried Sandhurst ( Bendigo) .
Martha Long not his wife.I suppose could be other relative with family.

Thanks

Hi

  The Long Family on the ship Suffolk are listed as English, not Irish.  George, is  a Merchant.

Thank you Muss
This might not be correct George Long , despite age fitting and time in Victoria from death certificate 27 years ( died 1893).
Perhaps I am mistaken.

I am looking for George Frederick Long brother of Margaret Maria Long who married Thomas Hendy 1853 Baltinglass Wicklow before coming to Australia.
Thomas and Margaret reared my maternal grandmother near  Kamarooka 35 km north of Bendigo.
I think George Frederick Long C1828 and Margaret Maria Long C1830 were brother and sister , children of Robert Long and Sarah Hill.

Thanks
