The Charters Towers Historical Society published a photo on Facebook with caption "Mary Jane Noon was a colonial born girl, born 7 June 1867 at Irraway Station, Gayndah. Her father was Job Noon and mother Elizabeth Dumbleton, both of whom had emigrated from England on the ship “Sultana” in 1866. Job and Elizabeth worked on the station and he was employed as a shepherd. At age 17, Mary Jane commenced working as a domestic servant.
Also details her marriage and family with Lee Wah Shang... very interesting. So this gives me the ship and year which i was after so i say BINGO. Thanks for all your help

i have it that the parents of Anne Noon 1860-1919 were Job Noon and Mary Slater as given in Queensland Death Registry on-line. There is a death Registry for Job as 30 Jan 1922 and via Trove The Bundaberg Mail 9 Feb 1922 gives "There passed away in this district a very old pioneer in the person of Job Noon...he was in his 83rd year.... and later says "none of his family are living"  This looks like the Job i'm interested in but have not been able to find when and how he arrived in Australia. I had a suspicion he may have been a convict but found nothing that matches his age. Any help would be appreciated

My reading of "townlands" says persons living there were either tenants or landlord. As said in previous post i'm interested in Charles Knox 1845-31 July 1925 and wonder if his father or grandfather was the landlordof Drumaquaren. Any thoughts?

I have a number of ancestors where it is said that they were born/died in Drumaqueran, County Antrim, Northern Ireland eg John Moore Knox 1892 - 2 July 1985. Is Drumaqueran a town/village /area or the name of a farm/home? I cant find any reference in Google Maps etc.

I have it that William Christie born 1846 and Helen Hamilton born 1847 both of Markinch, Fyfe married in 1871 in Markinch. Can anyone give me their respective death dates and places and also burial places. With thanks.
