Hi Debra. Thanks for sorting that out. I was getting totally confused thinking Moran turned up in two generations out of three. I spent a few hours and only tonight tracked down James arriving on the Northumberland. I don't know how you seem able to find all this information that takes me hours to sometimes find. I was really pleased with myself to find this one fact, and you seem to have found another dozen. Still an amateur at this, unfortunately.
I have also been doing some research on the ship Araminta. It did a couple of voyages including in 1852 bringing a group of Scottish immigrants. It seems to have been a significant influence on the Settree family as they named the family home, which became a guest house, Araminta. Need to go through passenger lists, but there was a sea captain, Cptn William Alfred Morrow Settree around that time so maybe there is a link there. Research for another day.
In the next two days, I will sit down and try to put it all together again. Tomorrow is my son's 30th so not going to get anything done then.
I am in Sydney. Where are you located? With a user name of Dundee, would I guess Scotland? Perhaps that is why I am getting worried that you are posting at 1 am and 2 am Sydney time.
