Lewis/Hickey family
« on: Friday 31 March 23 13:01 BST (UK) »
Is there anyone researching John Lewis and his wife Catherine Hickey from Peterswell Kilthomas? Co Galway and they were Roman Catholic I cannot find when they married but their daughter Margaret Esther was born c.1839. She migrated to Australia in 1856 on board the Ocean Monarch and married William Tasker 1857 in Victoria. On board the ship was a Catherine Hickey aged 17 perhaps her sister? Any information on the family would be greatly appreciated  :)

Thank you for that wonderful information I will certainly chase it up as Margaret and her family have been a brick wall for many many years.

VIC BDM
1775/1857  LEWIS Margaret   marr.  TASKER, William


Can you list all the information on this marriage certificate.  Witnesses name would be useful in an era of chain migration.
