Looking for ancestors.....

 

My GGGGrandmother Bessy Goan came to Australia with her husband James and children in 1855.

Her children were Catherine (my GGGrandmother), Anne, James, Thomas & John.  Other children Elizabeth & Christopher were born here in Australia.

Death certifictes state that Elizabeth's parents were Thomas McGurn (Macguire) and Ann Shannon.

The shipping records state that James' Goan parents were listed as Christian (???) Goan and Catherine - both deceased.

I have traced their names through death certificates back to Enniskillen, Fermanagh, Ireland. It also states their parents were farmers.

My GGGrandmother married William Murphy (also from Fermanagh) here in Australia.  William's parents are named as James Murphy and Jane Liddel.

This is about as much information that I can find.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Regards

Di Fryga
