Catherine Fox, John Fox & William Verner Co Tyrone
« on: Monday 05 April 10 06:20 BST (UK) »
I am seeking information about the Fox line:
Info from our Family Bible indicates Catherine Fox (age 23yr, "late of Castlederg Co Tyrone) married William Verner (age 25yr) in Adelaide South Australia in 1861.  (later married GGrandfather in 1867)

William Verner arrived in Adelaide aboard Constantine in 1855 (? with sister Anne) ? from Tyrone
John Fox age 38yr single parent, arrived on the Admiral Boxer in 1855 with Catherine (b ? 1836-1841), Isabella (b ?1838), Rebecca (b ? 1843)
they were non conformists.
Any help in tracing the Irish connection would be appreciated!

Fox and Verner

I'm just starting out and trying to trace Catherine Fox and father John Fox
arrived in Adelaide South Australia in 1855  (Admiral Boxer ex Liverpool).
John listed as 38, agricultural labourer, single parent, from Tyrone
Catherine (age 19, domestic servant. b ? 1836)
Isabella (age 16, domestic servant, b ? 1839)
Rebecca (age 14, domestic servant,b ? 1841)

Our family bible indicates Catherine was "Native of Castlederg, Co Tyrone", married William Verner  (aged 25, also from Tyrone) in 1861 in Adelaide

I have found numerous John Fox on the Griffiths Valuation ( don't know which one if any is my John Fox) but haven't found any records of birth or other details. All nonconformists.

Any suggestions about where to next? Any help would be appreciated!

William Verner (parents John Verner and Jane Scott of Castlederg, Count Tyrone) was married to my great great aunt Catherine Fox (born in Castlederg, County Tyrone born circa 1836). I am a descendent of Isabella Fox who married Michael O'Halloran in Adelaide, Australia in 1859.
I have contact with relative of the third sister Rebecca Fox .
I am seeking any information regarding my great great gramdfather Michael and would appreciate any help you may be able to give.

Best to post any pertinent details about Michael on the O'Halloran topic to avoid confusion-
