Place of migration
Migrated to/Born in Australia

John born 1795 joined the King's Own (4th Regiment) then in the early 1800's he came to Australia on the Ship Parmelia. On that ship whilst remaining with the Regiment he was guarding convicts to Sydney. John remained in Australia with his younger brother William following in his footsteps. It is thought that their father John McCrohon was also in the Army but I can't find any records of this. Any help with further Irish information would be appreciated. I've been search for quite some time.

    <p>The theme was always the same: the pestilential climate of the island, the reduction of poor emigrants to slaves, the severity and cruelty of the planters (and planter-dominated Assembly clinging to every vestige of oppression) and, of course, the absence of priests and chapels.</p>
