Thanks I will do that.
I have since found a few of their children through the discovery methods on the My Heritage and ancestory.com, but there are a few discrepancies, so I will look for clarification through documents on them.

Thanks again, I will ask the mod if they can move this

On Family Search there is a US census from 1850 that has John Reynold with his father and mother, including brother Edward Reynold NB no final S.  He was one of 11 children and his occupation is shown as clerk and Edward's as farmer.

Lemuel born Virginia 1801 apx and Emiline born Kentucky 1809apx.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-XKGK-9K?i=32&cc=1401638

Lemuel is buried Oakdale Cemetery Champaign County Ohio
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/8734576
There is a note on the Findagrave entry that he was the son of John & Jane Reynolds (s is back).  'Son of John and Jane Reynolds.
He was first interred in the Old Graveyard on Ward and Kenton Streets, Urbana, Ohio, which was in use from 1805 to 1856. After 1856 his remains were removed to Oak Dale Cemetery.'

Also quoting from Findagrave records is this

'Family Members

Children

Sarah F Reynolds Semmes

So looks like relatives have already done some work. There is a great deal of info including some on the brother of Lemuel, Joseph, who married a Tiffen.

The mother of Lemuel is shown as Jane Lemen Reynolds. Not seeing the Irish everywhere but Lemmon/Lemon/lemen is a name that is relatively common from the north of Ireland.

This is a write-up about Joseph Reynolds, brother of Lemuel Reynolds.  Confirms an Irish link!

@shanreagh I have not yet seen records in Victoria showing how long they were in the colony (though that doesn't mean they don't exist), but I believe they do show that in early NSW records.

@Jamjar That is very incredible to see a record from the US from those days, thank you very much.
It is so hard when working back this far, because I don't really even know where to begin when it comes to finding that sort of record from that long ago!
I really appreciate your efforts here very much

Have you purchased John Fisher's death certificate?   Should show time in Colony of Victoria.

Hi
I do have Margaret's siblings (I have her listed as having 3 siblings, William, Catherine & John... and possibly Mary) and I also have her parents (John & Johanna) and also Johanna's parents Thomas & Ellen Hanigan though I have no details about said parents.

I wonder if Mary is in fact Margaret as there are no death or marriage records for Mary that match up either.

I also don't have any birth/death/immigration records at the moment for John William Quill.
I have only spend a small amount of time looking so far, but have not really found anything. I tried to search for some immigration records, but found myself lost. The recordings of the birth of their children in Victoria doesn't include Margaret and all of their other children were recorded in the one year
