Yes, that's John's arrival. I have quite a lot of info about him. It's his wife, Catherine Cavanagh/Kavanagh, who has me a bit stumped.
I haven't been able to find her arrival in NSW online. I know the immigration records are there but I've not been able to find her, either as an assisted immigrant or as an unassisted immigrant. As far as I am aware, the Immigration Deposit Journals are not available online unless you have access to Ancestry.com, which I don't.
I'm interested in the Immigration Deposit Journals because I suspect Catherine and John knew each other in Ireland and that her immigration was sponsored by a relative. Her husband, John, and his two siblings were sponsored by their maternal uncle who was already in NSW and I know this was a common thing with Irish families. Catherine's mother's maiden name was Murphy and a William Murphy was a witness at her marriage to John so I'm wondering whether he may have been an uncle who sponsored her.
As far as the date she arrived in NSW is concerned, Catherine and John were married in February 1860 so she couldn't have arrived in NSW any later than January 1860. She died in 1903 at the age of 63 and it's noted on her death certificate that she had lived in New South Wales for 43 years which would have had her arriving in Sydney in about 1859 at the age of twenty, about three years after her future husband had arrived.
