Hi Di,
William and Mary-Ann had a farm at Leaffoney near a small town called Kilglass in Co. Sligo, Ireland. They had 11 children:
James c1842 - 1899 stayed on the farm in Ireland m. Jane Carroll, had 7 children
Alica  c1844 - 1920 immigrated to Victoria, m Joseph Boucher , had 6 children
Mary-Jane c1851 - 1908 immigrated to Victoria, m. George Faux, had 11 children
Matilda-Sophia, c1850 - 1897, immigrated to Victoria 1870, m. William Fielder, had 5 children
William 1852 - 1923, immigrated to Southport, Queensland, m. Emily Wells, 3 children
Annie 1853- 1877, immigrated to Victoria 1870 (with Matilda) m. Robert Grosert, no children
John 1858 - 1930, immigrated to New Zealand, m. Margaret King, 5 children
Acheson 1860 - 1927, immigrated to New Zealand, m. Agnes Johnston, 10 children
Alexander
Margaret
Deborah

We know what became of 8 of William and Mary-Ann's 11 children. (all except Alexander, Margaret and Deborah).  Five immigrated to Australia, and two to New Zealand. There is a story that one, or maybe two, of the daughters and their husbands set sail for New Zealand but the ship was lost at sea and they were never heard of again.  The ship may have been the "Knowsley Hall" in 1879/80, but I haven't been able to confirm this.
I'm not allowed to send you my email address but can send personal massages somehow. I have quite a bit of information about the Greer family I can provide you.
Regards,
Ray

Hi Debbie,

Re Thomas James Lush of Leaffoney.  I have a comprehensive family tree for the Lush family which includes information about your Tomas James and his five sons as noted below.
Regards,

Ray 

21.  THOMAS JAMES LUSH (WILLIAM SLUSH, THOMAS, WILLIAM1, [--?--]A)129,130 was born 11 Jan 1879 in Leaffony, Kilglass, Co. Sligo, Ireland, and died 12 Jul 1962.  He married MARTHA GILMORE, daughter of HENRY GILMORE and SARAH SLEATER.  She was born 27 Oct 1881 in Ballysodare, Co. Sligo, Ireland, and died 07 Feb 1965.

Notes for THOMAS JAMES LUSH:
Thomas was given half his father's land upon which he built a house and a flax mill. This was later sold to his cousin James Shannon. The family then moved to Co. Wicklow, Ireland, where his wife taught school.

I'm interested in the family of James Alexander WALDIE (1832-1915) and Catherine Charlotte (nee Brown) (1840-1922) coal merchants of Edinburgh.  Their daughter Roberta m. William Greer at Edinburgh in 1907.  Is this the same family?

Hi
Amelia is the first born of Mary-Jane.  I live in Auckland NZ.  I can tell you a lot about the Greer family.  I think Mary-Jane came to Australia from Co Sligo, Ireland around 1870 and settled at Horsham, Victoria.  Her older sister Alicia was already in Victoria. Ray

Hi Rosemary,
Mary Jane Grier married George Faux on 18 Nov 1872 at Ballarat and they had 11 children.  Which one are you descended from?  I have a lot of information about her family from Maureen Lewis, who is descended from son William Greer Faux, which I can send on to you.  You have hit gold!! My g father Acheson Greer (1860 - 1927) is Mary Jane's younger brother.

Regards,
Ray

This is a bit late, but I know that Roberta Campbell Waldie, daughter of James Alexander Waldie Coal Merchant married Dr William Wells Greer in August 1907 and settled in Australia, returning to England in 1924.  Ray
