Robert and Maryanne arrived in Brisbane on the 24/05/1889 and later moved to Roma were Robert worked on the railway and Maryanne had a dairy farm, they had 9 children Thomas,Janet, Mary Jane,Isabella,Robert,David,Edward ,Margaret and Mavis.

I have just found out that at least one branch of my family stayed north of the border. Thomas Towlan born 1847 and Janet Black born 1946 had a large family, Mary Ann 1868, jane 1870, William 1872, George 1875, james 1877, Margaret 1879, Thomas 1881, John 1885 and Janet 1885.
If there is anyone researching this family I'll be pleased to hear from you.
[email][ Hi Chris Mary ann Towlan married Robert Kerr in 1887, sailed to Australia in 1889.  Robert Kerr and Frances Kerr (my Great grandfather) were brother's,
I keep in contact with Beryl who is the grand daughter of Mary ann Towlan.
