Hugh Henry

I think Hugh Henry and his brother William sailed to Australia on board the James Fermie, arriving at Moreton Bay in 1856. Both brothers are listed on the passenger lists. Hugh married in 1859 to a Mary Murtough from Armagh, Ireland (Murtoch, Murdoch there seems to be many versions of her surname changing with each of the 8 children they had). Hugh and William lived in Warwick, Queensland and I found one newspaper article of him as a miner in the area, later he was a grazier in the region, retiring to the town later in life. I can find no record of him in Tyrone Ireland. Hugh's death certificate shows his parents as John Henry hotel keeper and Margaret Vernock. William's death certificate of 1914 shows the father as a publican.
