Magee Family of migrants to NSW

[Anchor425]

Hi
Does anyone have any info on Bernard and Sarah Magee (McGee) nee McGrory from Co. Fermanagh who arrived in NSW on ship "Alfred", with five daughters, the youngest of whom, Sidney was born during the voyage.  My connection is through the eldest child, Annie (1849-1930) who married a migrant from Co. Galway, John Flatley (1835-1916) in Sydney, NSW in 1969.

arrived in NSW 1860, Bernard 35, Sarah 33?, Anne 10, Mary Jane 8, Eliza 6, Sarah about 1, Sidney.

hard to find if you do not have name of townland in Fermanagh.

when Annie got married to it say which townland she was from, or when they died?

One would need to know their Religion too....

but haven't looked as I don't know Religion.

 
R.C. ones are online free. You'd need idea of Parish!

The immigration record shows them as RC.

Sarah's baptism 22 March 1857 (right hand page, first baptism after marriages)

Many thanks Debra & others
I believe you have found what part of Fermanagh my McGees were from with Sarah's record of baptism viz Magheraculmany RC Parish. The date of the baptism is consistent with her age on immigration (surname recorded as Magee) of 1 yr & 6 mths. The surname of the sponsors, McDonagh is not familiar to me; perhaps they are an uncle & aunt?
Best wishes
