searching for John Johnston and Martha Wilcock
I am searching for information about John Johnston and Martha Wilcock. They were apparently married in Drumreilly church on 28 October 1839 (or 1840). Martha Wilcock's parents were George Wilcock and Hannah Ireton. John Johnston's parents are not known. John Johnston was apparently born on 22 March 1820 in Co Fermanagh (or Cavan). Martha Wilcock was born on 12 February 1820 in Bawnboy (not necessarily the town), Co Cavan. Their first child was Eleanor Johnston born 31 October 1841 in Drummany (or Drumrary) Co Leitrim. Their second child was Catherine Johnston born 22 November 1843 in Templeport, Co Cavan. Their third child was Margaret Johnston born 16 September 1845. Their fourth child was John George Johnston born 22 July 1847 in Co Cavan. The family moved after this time to Manchester England where two more children were born: Hannah Johnston born 16 November 1850, and Alexander Johnston born 17 October 1852. The family then emigrated to Australia on 30 March 1855 arriving in Australia on 8 July 1855 where they stayed. It is believed that they lived in Killywilly (or Killywillin) after they were married. It is possible but unconfirmed that John Johnston's father was George Johnston and was living in Corramahan in 1834. It is possible but unconfirmed that Martha Wilcock's father who was George Wilcock was living in Cully in 1834. We have never been able to find any church records of any of the family to confirm anything that we believe. We have documents from Australian and from Manchester and a family bible with some of the information. We do not know if John Johnston had any other relations that stayed in Ireland in Leitrim/Cavan (or possibly Fermanagh) but we hope there was. We do not know if John Johnston is related to the Johnston's of Killywilly/Killywillin. We do not know if Martha Wilcock is related to the Wilcox/Wilcock families who were involved in the St Peters Templeport church. Martha had at least two sisters who also emigrated to Australia: Elizabeth Wilcock born about 1827 in Co Cavan, and Grace Wilcock born about 1837 (or maybe 1832) in Co Cavan. And there is a possible third sister Eleanor Wilcock(Wilcox) who emigrated to Canada and was born 15 May 1825.
