James Moylan (b1816 Laois Queens Co) son of John, married Margaret Peavoy in Dublin 1848 - emigrated to Australia 1850/51

LaoisAbbeyleix (Laois)

James was 32 when he married, which seems late? Marriage certificate attached.

The only ancestor info I can locate is that James mother's name was Mary Brannan, father was John.

All I have for Margaret Peavoy is her father is John, and was a shoemaker.

James & Margaret had one child in Ireland (Mary Elizabeth Rose b 1849) before shipping-out to Australia. Their 2nd child (Margaret) was born in Adelaide South Australia (b 1851), then the remainder of their children born in Victoria. I cannot locate any records showing which ship they were on.    

I have been searching for years, so any assistance would be much appreciated!

Hi, Are you sure the Laois James is the same James who was living in Dublin in 1848?

What were the names of James and Margaret's children, in order?

Thanks.
