Johanna was my great great grandmother on my mother's side. She immigrated from Ireland (I beleive) about 1845-1855 and married a Thomas Lemington having her first born 1852 at Castlemain(in the middle of the Goldfields). They had another 8 children. She died 1891 @ Bung Bong (rural town in Victoria), her parents were listed as Julia Grifiths and Michael McKnight. I really know nothing frurther about her other than the birth details of her children.
