Andrew and Sarah (nee Pentland) McCullough

[bobmci]

I am trying to find out when my 2nd Great Parents Andrew and Sarah (nee Pentland) McCullough arrived in Australia.
From records I have, they were married on the 23 Jan 1863 in Tullylish, Co. Down, North Ireland, and Catherine, their first child and my great grandmother, was born in Brisbane, Queensland on the 20th Dec 1865. I have unsuccessfully searched all the on line passenger lists available through the State Archives. Does anyone have any other clues or ideas on how I should proceed

This obit for Sarah (died 1916, from Qld BDM, father: Robert PENTLAND, mother Catherine BROWNLEE) on trove says that she arrived in 1862 on the Bayswater

Are you sure the marriage details you have are correct?

I can't see the Bayswater arriving in 1862, however there was a trip arriving 25 Jan 1864 at Moreton Bay from Liverpool which sounds more likely. Of course obituaries can be wrong, especially when dealing with stories from over 50 years previously.
