Afternoon Neale1961. thanks for your help, I was informed about Mathew McElroy working as a Cooper by other researchers a long time ago, when I had help from various ancestors. I have just received a message from the Australian History Research regarding Francis McGouran apparently he and Sarah had a daughter named Sarah she was only 7 days old died on the 15/12/1820 and buried 16/12/1820 Windsor Parramatta NSW. In September 1822 Francis McGouran was employed in the Lunatic Asylum she may help me again. Thanks for your help once again, I will search for the child of Francis and Sarah.

Good morning Neale1961 I am sorry about the mistake about Francis McGauran having to work at the Lunatic Asylum I found another Francis McGouran who came out to Australia in September 1822 employed to the Lunatic Asylum, the way the Surname varies is putting me off. I finally found Francis McGowran listed with a David Bell and Annseley McGrath on a Web page as being hanged on the 18/8/1820 David was buried 20/8/1820 aged 46 at St. Peter CE Richmond New South Wales, website BDA New South Wales. Its amazing I am finding other ancestors that are not connected to my search, I will have another look as Francis first name changes to Thomas in some entries. I also searched in the Sydney Gazette on the 26/8/1820 and found another convict Dennis Molloy and Francis's Auction of cattle sold, Dennis was also hanged on the 18/8/1820. I have looked through 50 pages from the New South Wales Records that were sent to me by post, nothing much about Francis, but a lot on David Bell, and Annseley McGrath. I am worn out at the moment.
Regards,
Janet
