Hi, I’m trying to locate this ancestor. The only information I have is that she arrived in Australia about 1863 but I’ve not been able to find any record of her arrival.
Her marriage certificate in Australia says she was born in the Isle of Mann about 1845 although other records suggest she could have been born as early as 1836. She was Roman Catholic.
Her marriage certificate records her father as John Muckvee (farmer) and her mother as Mary Elizabeth Macgee. The ‘Smith’ maiden name appears on some of her children’s birth certificates so I’m not sure what has happened there - a stepfather perhaps? She was a spinster when she married.
I’m hoping the family is on the 1851 census. Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Anne
