Ellen Looney
« on: Sunday 11 September 22 12:52 BST (UK) »
Looking for information on Ellen Looney born about 1833. She came to Australia in 1849 as part of The Earl Grey scheme on the “New Liverpool”.
On children's birth certificates her birth place is listed as Dungarvan Waterford.
Parents I believe to be John Looney and Honora O’Connor.
Ellen married Robert Downey at Port Fairy Victoria Australia in 1850..
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Meryl..
