Catherine was my great great grandmother.  She born in Donegal and her parents were John (Divor?) and Bridget Fraser. Catherine (Devor) emigrated to Victoria, Australia on 6/12/1848 on the 'Lady Kennaway' as part of the scheme to transport Irish Famine Orphans. She married George Stevens (bc1821 Glasgow, Scotland) and they had 4 children:  Mary Ann b1852, Margaret b1856, John George b1858, William James b1861.
