Hi Patricia

When Henry and Sarah immigrated to NSW there was no child named George so he may have died. I am enclosing details recorded on their passenger list which includes the mentions the names of Henry’s parents. I know it is probably impossible to know if they had already passed away by the time Henry and Sarah come to Aust. Richard probably had his own family by 1839.

RootsIreland has baptisms for two sons of Richard and his wife, Jane. They lived in the townland of Cooley.

In the 1796 flax growers list, there was one Kirkland listed in Donegal:

Kirkland George Moville Lower Donegal

Good luck.

Thank you, Patricia. I didn’t think of looking for a Facebook group.  I appreciate your help.  I hope to write a family history for my grandchildren, adding context to the stories rather than dates alone.  Lyn
