Margaret Reid / Read
Hello every one.I have joined your group as I have made a discovery about Margaret.
She emigrated to Australia in 1841.The ship's record says she was from Kilkenny.Last week I was going over my research (lockdown under COVID19 in Melbourne) and found something on her death record I hadn't seen before.
It says she was born in Killarney.
Now perhaps the family made a mistake and got Killarney and Kilkenny mixed up.But Margaret's house in Melbourne was named Kilburn and that is the name of a townland in County Kerry - it's near Milltown,which is not far from Killarney.
The record also says her father was Thomas Reid and that he was a Bootmaker.Mother unknown.
I have not been able to find Margaret's baptism on Ancestry and FMP.
Can some-one help out?Cheers
