(Hello Skoosh - it's getting lonely on this thread!)

I see that son William James Milroy Macknoe married Elizabeth Malvina King in Western Australia in 1854.


This matches the Great Torrington baptism and, hence, his parents' marriage.

A map of the location of the Devon places, mentioned above:

It looks as if Joseph could have travelled by sea from Kirkcudbright to the North Devon coast. Sea journeys using the Irish sea were fairly common in those days. My 3 x greats travelled that way from Kirkcudbright to the Dee estuary in Cheshire.

Thank you Skoosh and Gadget.  You are both wonderful!!
That's all great information for me to assimilate!  Unfortunately I can't access that link to LDS Family Search. Yes, I have Elizabeth's death - I have most if not all the information in Western Australia on the family. How fascinating that they seem to have ended up in Devon. William James Milroy McKnoe was born in Devon.  How interesting!  Wow!  Probably Jenet and Jessie are the same person.  I'll have to do more research on Thomas Peel. Maybe he came from Devon?!  (That's the person who sponsored the family to West Australia).

(I could do some more searches if you'd like but I don't like going on and on without finding out if you want to do some investigations yourself  )
