Okay just for other researches....I have found the Family and happy to share.

The McLaughlin family from Roscommon IRE, immigrated to NSW per vessel Adam Lodge in Feb 1840. Records show Michael McLaughlin aged 42, a stonemason, his wife Mary (nee Redican), farm servant, Henry age 11, Michael 9, Mary 12 also the older McLaughlin sons Patrick aged 22 & James aged 18. (For reasons of securing their passage Michael made himself younger; likely born 1788)
The older boys from his first marriage with Janitha Forrest of East Carricknahorna, Aghanagh Co. both registered as “Butlers” & employed by William Ogilvie at “Merton” (todays town of Denman in the upper Hunter Valley ) on arrival.
In time the McLaughlinʼs had made their way south to Port Phillip, Victoria.
Michael McLaughlin a stonemason died 8th May 1855 in Napier St Collingwood Victoria.
Patrick inherited the property.

Patrick McLaughlin of Heidelberg st Collingwood, Melbourne, married in St Francis Catholic Church Melbourne 4/9/1851 to Mary Anne McCann, a Catholic b.1832 from Enniskillen-Fermanagh- Ireland. However with the onset of the Gold Rush the married Patrick & Mary Anne soon set off for the Kangaroo Gully Gold Fields in Sandhurst (now Bendigo).
Mary Anne McCann or Marianne arrived in Port Phillip as an assisted immigrant aged 17,(daughter of Miles McCann - mother unknown) on the 10/1/1850 aboard vessel “DIADEM” arriving after 87 days at sea from Plymouth. She was one of 234 “Famine” orphan girls sent to the colony per the vessel DAIDEM as female domestic help and future wives to the men of a growing Colony. She one of five sisters who were all sent to the colony. Originally she was from the work house in Enniskillen-Fermanagh and had been living with her aunt for the previous eight months.
On arrival she was employed and registered as an illiterate house servant. She earned 8 pounds per annum working for a Patrick Murphy of little Lonesdale St Melbourne for 6 months before marrying. At Hyde park barracks in Sydney there is a Memorial to the Famine Orphans sent to Australia in that period--her name is on it.
They had 10 children... 2nd eldest was Michael McLoughlin b.1854-d.1942 (my Fathers Great GF)
