I cant see a birth for John with the same parents but looking at some tree at Ancestry, they have John born in Scotland?

Might be worth looking on Scotlands People website to check births

Lochee Report 24 Jul 2012 10:37

I am searching for any information on Margaret McMahon who emigrated to Australia with her brother John on the ship "Lochee" arriving at Port Adelaide on 1st February 1877
Their fathers name was Michael of Ennis County Clare
Mothers name unknown

It is possible Margaret went to Melbourne and we believe other family members went to America
Any information on any family members would be wonderful


John McMahon married Julia Ellen Griffiths in 1879

Kind regards

Maureen
