Armagh - Birth - Susan Campbell - 1856?

[bates]

Susan Campbell (Susannah?)   

according to her Australian death certificate she was born  in 1856 Derryland, Armagh, Ireland

She came out to Australia on the Gauntlet from London 4 October 1874 and arrived Maryborough Queensland on 1 January 1875.

She married  30 September 1876 in Maryborough and being illiterate made x on marriage certificate.  The marriage certificate states her parents as as George Camel and Mary Fox George was a farmer, and her brother was said to be hung for smuggling - but I have nothing to verify this!

Susan died 2 April 1930 at Bauple Queensland and was buried 21 April 1930 Tiaro Cemetery next to her husband Joseph Bates.

She is my gg-grandmother and I would be very keen to prove where and when she was born. 

Any help would be gratefully appreciated - as she has been my biggest unsolved relative for over 15years!!!

Hello Bates,

Griffiths Valuation of Co. Armagh, conducted in 1864, shows a place called Derrylard but not a Derryland. http://www.failteromhat.com/griffiths.php
Derrylard is in Tartaraghan Parish, Co. Armagh www.sagp.org/townlandatoz.php
This site http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:z-S0Ft5vFw8J:www.connorsgenealogy.com/Armagh/TartaraghanGV-A.htm+Derrylard+Church+Campbell&hl=en&gl=uk&ct=clnk&cd=1A.htm shows George Campbell rented a house from Robert Hume.
I hope this is a little bit of help to you.

Best Wishes, Christopher

Does anyone know if there are census available for Armagh around 1841, 1851, 1861 or 1871?

Moderator's Note: First complete census for all Ireland is 1901- earlier ones for Co. Antrim do not survive
