additional information:

  • Lower Ardees is a townland in the parish of Inishmacsaint in Co Fermanagh. According to Tom McBryan (per Maxine McBryan, 23 August 1998), William McBrien and Ellen McBrien (Chance) were siblings; William had been born in 1836 in Co. Fermanagh. In 1862 William married Mary Ann Sommerville, who had also emigrated aboard the Chance, a 927 ton barque mastered by Capt. W. G. Sparke. William, a turnkey at Parramatta Gaol, had seven children by Mary.
  • Charlotte and Mary Ann McBrien (Ocean Empress): St Saints was probably meant to be Inishmacsaint. The Immigration Board’s listings state that Charlotte and Mary Ann were houseworkers hailing from Tiernahad (?read Tiranagher, the townland in the parish of Inishmacsaint) and that their parents were John McBrien and Elizabeth McBrien, both living at Tiernahad; they were literate Wesleyeans, and their cousins Thomas and James Johnston already lived at Parramatta.
  • William and Arthur McBrien (Sirocco): Ennis McSaint was probably meant to be Inishmacsaint. The Board’s listings state that their parents were Arthur and Jane of Lower Ardes, they were literate CoE and their brother Thomas McBrien already lived at Parramatta. They arrived in good health and with no complaints regarding the passage.
  • Francis McBrien (Montmorency) was a literate Roman Catholic farm labourer from Acey (?Avey?) fer; his parents were John (deceased) and Ann (living at Ballycassidy fer); his brother Thomas was already residing at Christian Street, Sydney. He was in good health and had no complaints. Brookburough is a town in the parish of Aghaven (Barony of Magherastephna, Poor Law Union (1857) of Lisnakea).
  • Arthur and Eliza McBrien (Peterborough) were siblings of Thomas, living at Parramatta; they were literate adherents of the CoE, and their mother Jane was still alive in Co Fermanagh when the Peterborough sailed. For Bellick read Belleek, on the River Erne a few kilometres downriver from Rosscor.
