Pietro Canale, Maryborough, Victoria, Australia Abt 1829 - 1876

Surnames: Canale, Canali, Hourigan, Hogan
Interested in any information about Pietro (Peter) Canale and his wife Margaret Hourigan/Hogan.
Believe Pietro was born in or near La Spezia, Italy around 1829 was in Australia by 1853.
He may have come to Australia from USA on the ship William Fotheringham - interested in documentary of this.
Death Certificate states he married Margaret around 1853 in Melbourne, Victoria (no evidence of marriage found). None of the children (later known as Canali) born in Maryborough, Vic. were registered: Augustus (1854), Angelina (1855), Caterina (1859), Matthew (1863), Marian Josephine (1864), Margaretta (1866), Helena Lucia (1868), Victor Joseph (1871). Sometime after Pietro's death in 1876 family moved to Warragul, Victoria.
His wife Margaret died in Melbourne 7 April 1885 no official record of death has been found (report in newspapers only). I would like to identify her actual surname as it is unclear- likely to be Hourigan, Hogan or a variation - it is listed differently on the children's death certificates.

Wow, thanks Pam you're a marvel, I don't know how you did as that has had me and others stumped for quite some time.
I've already got the image from BDM and the name looks more like Canale than Carrale but I know what I'm looking for.
Thanks again
Kelvin
