I am new to this forum.  My g.grandmother was Bridget Purcell (known as Blanche) baptised 1854 St Mary of the Angels Church, Geelong Victoria.  Her parents were Michael Purcell and Anne Sanders (or Saunders) arrived Port Melbourne, Victoria on the ship Australia 20/9/1853.  Michael's age is given as 20 and Anne was 19 on arrival. I believe they were from Kilkenny.  Is this family related to any of the Purcell families mentioned on this page? I am just commencing Irish research.
Thank you 
Marilyn

Hi Marilyn,
So excited to get your message.   We have been on holidays.  Yes Bridget/Blanche was my g grandfather's sister.   We had great difficulty finding Ann's arrival in Australia as they didn't come with the rest of the family and Michael's name was with them.   Shipping records can be a bit misleading.
I have also been in touch with another of Bridget's descendants.
I can tell you lots about the family and am interested to know where you fit in.
Can't wait to hear from you.
