Mary magennis/mcinness and patrick odocharty

[wren]

Dear All
I am trying to find Mary Magennis/McInnes etc and Patrick O'Docharty who were married in Renfrewshire about 1852. I have tried all the spelling variations I can think of for both surnames.
Mary came from Ireland and had been born c 1834 not sure whether Cork or Offaly. Mary and Patrick migrated to Australia on board the Nepaul arriving in Sydney March 15 1855. Mary died at Mt Keira near Wollongong NSW two years later in 1857. I'm not sure of any of Patrick's details. It is possible that two of Mary's brothers Edward and Joseph also migrated to Scotland. At this stage that is only conjecture. I have searched ancestry and some scottish archives to no avail.
Three of Mary's siblings and her mother also migrated to Australia, directly from Ireland. Eliza, Ellen (part of the Irish orphan scheme) and John who travelled with mum Margaret.
Any advice of where I might search next is gratefully accepted.
Regards
Wren

Scotlandspeople website would seem to have that record on the Old Parish Registers , although there probably won't be any more information

Hi ev
Thank you. This helps and adds to the information that I have. My next step is to discover how Mary and Patrick came to Scotland. I think their migration is connected to the famine as both appear ot have come from small irish villages.
Your help is much appreciated.
Regards
Wren
