I am looking for William Wilson from Wychitella, Victoria. I know that William married  Mary Brown and that he was a farmer at Wychitella. He and Mary had nine children and William is buried at Wychitella, no headstone. He died c1902
His obituary says that he was Irish and that he had come to Australia gone to New Zealand and then returned to Australia. However, much of his life eludes me.
Following his death Mary moved to Bendigo where she died in 1924.
Her mother was Jemima Crookston and her father was George Brown. George and Jemima appear to have been scottish immigrants.
They lived at Ballarat with George appearing to have been with VicRail.
Hoping someone can help.

I am looking for the extended family of James Shipman. James was transported to  Australia in 1836. He left behind his parents and several sisters. They lived in the Hamlet of South Wield. James was transported for the theft of material at Brentwood. He, his brother William and their brother in law Samuel rush were known as the Brentwood Gang.
Any information at all would be greatly appreciated.

Sarah Griffith migrated to Australia on the Caribou as a beneficiary of the Donegal Relief Fund in 1859. Her Father William and her mother Mary (Cannon) remained in Ireland. Their place of residence is said to be Torman or is that Terman and their native place was said to be Londerry County Donegal. Can anyone tell me where Torman was? Any news on the Griffith or Cannon families would be much appreciated.
Sarah's obituary said that she had resided in Carrowcannon House in Donegal. I have today found an add for the sale of Carrowcannon House and would be interested in any news of the history of same. I feel that perhaps the family may have been evicted from this house if they ever really lived there. The fact that Sarah came to Australia courtesy of the Donegal Relief fund to me indicates that they were not exactly flush with funds and therefore Carrowcannon House would have been well and truly beyond their means.

Does anyone know anything about the McGuinness family based in Clara during 1850s? Ellen and Elizabeth migrated to Australia and then Margaret Mother) and younger brother John followed. Father Stephen, either died prior to migration or remained behind. I'm interested in any news.
