Looking for birth/baptism of Margaret Reid.other spellings could be Read or Ready.She emigrated to Melbourne Australia in 1841 and the ship's record says she was 22 and from Kilkenny.However her death record in 1893 says she was from Killarney , that her father was Thomas Reid who was a bookmaker.Her age was 70 which means she was born in 1823 .Her house was named Kilburn,which is also the name of a Townland near Milltown.Any help would be appreciated.

  • Hello Jim

    thanks for your response .It's almost 2 years since you posted and I have only just found it.

    I am sorry for this late response but i have an excuse : COVID !

    We have had some very tight restrictions on movements In Victoria and so I have been distracted .

    It is only in the past week that the government said we don't have to wear masks on public transport.

    I hope you are safe and healthy.

    Jim
