McCann John Walker McCann

[Bikernan]

I am adopted and in the last 20 years I have been researching my Birth Parents Family Tree
My Parents were married and adopted me out. My father
John George McCann Born 1908 died 1969 Perth Western Australia
His Father Francis McCann Married Ellen Maud Harris 1905
His Father John Walker McCann Born 1835 convicted in 1857 and sentenced to 6 years in Western Australia departing 11 August 1858 arrived November 1858 from Gravesend.
He sailed on the Edwin Fox (which at this present time is being restored in new Zealand.
I am asking for Help to find John Walker McCann Irish family.
I think they came from County Armagh. I live in Queensland Australia and would appreciate any help.
Thankyou
