Johnson / Gillespie

Donegal

Hi,

I am trying to find information on my ancestors. GGGG GrandmotherMary Johnson. The information I have is her year of birth estimated 1776. She was transported on the ship Tellicherry to Australia with other irish rebels, one of whom she had two children with - John Mernaugh. (not my Relative)

Mary then had 4 children to aMichael Gillespie(who I believe is also my ancester) who was born around 1791, in Donegal Ulster. Records suggest Michael was transported on the ship "Indian" 1911

Look forward to any correspondence or information you can help me with

Thank You

Marianne

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

Unfortunately, there are no church records back to the late 18th century so we won't be able to find baptismal records for Mar, her children or Michael Gillespie.

You may want to add Mary's story to our XO Chronicles site and possibly someone might see a connection. https://irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/history-and-genealogy/ancestor-database
