I am interested in William Tedford, who married (Mary) Margaret McGee/ Magee in 1850 in Tartaraghan, Armagh and emigrated to Australia in 1855 on the Ramillies with 2 young daughters, Abigail and Mary. He was possibly born in Glencoe, Armagh. He died 1909 and was buried in Drayton cemetery, Toowoomba, Qld, Australia. Margaret’s parents are listed in Qld bdm of her death in 1871 as Robert McGee and Jane Sloane.
William’s death listing in Qld bdm in 1909 shows his parents as Thomas Tedford and Mary, but some secondary sources list his mother as Abby/ Abigail Lyett/ Lyat/ Lyaught. After his arrival in Australia, he married Elizabeth née Prosser in Berrima NSW (possibly b Bridgwater, Gloucestershire, Eng, with parents possibly John Prosser and Elizabeth Poole) but previously married to George Seaniger, possibly with parents William and Hannah Goulding. She died 1899 in Glenvale, Australia and was buried in Drayton cemetery, Toowoomba Qld, Australia.
A Thomas Tedford came to Qld, Australia on the Golconda in 1865, 58y, with Shrah/ Sarah 54y and John, 12y. She died In 1899 75y in Qld with parents John Morrow and Mary and is listed as being born in Ireland.
I’d love to know if Thomas Tedford married a Mary separately, Abigail Lyett and Sarah Morrow, or perhaps Mary Abigail Lyett then Sarah Morrow? Who was William’s mother?
Any information about any of these people would be greatly appreciated.
