Is there anyone out there who could help me??? Archibald & Fanny are my 4th Great Grandparents. From the information I have I know they had at least 2 children,
1/ Samuel - b. April 1815 in Donegal, Ireland; d. July 28 1856 in Orange, New South Wales, Australia. Married Agnes Mary Allen, b.1820 in Donegal, Ireland; d. April 1 1894 in Orange, New South Wales, Australia.
Samuel & Agnes emmigrated to Australia, arriving on October 18, 1840. They lived, raised a family & died in the Orange and Ophir (Australia) area. They had 10 children and at least 4 of their sons were quite successful at gold prospecting.
2/ Martha McConnell (I have no other details on Martha)
Does anyone have any more information about Archibald & Fanny, I have found information with Archibald possibly being descendant from
William McConnell - m. Jane Coles (father),
James McConnell - m. Margaret (Grandfather),
and Alexander McConnell - m. Elizabeth (Great Grandfather)
but I'm not sure if this is the right branch as there are so many McConnell's out there.
I have not been able to find any information about Fanny at all, so if there is anybody who could help me or give me more details about any of this family line I would greatly appreciate it.
