Note: Janis Mason <[email protected]> wrote: My name is Janis Conning (now Mason) and I live in Melbourne Australia. I am trying to trace a Robert Conning from Isle of Whithorn, a seaman, who married Catherine Green in Limerick on 19 June 1840. They then had 4 children born in Isle of Whithorn. Charles Conning b 1844, Ann Jane Conning b 1845, Robert b 1849 and Peter Stewart b 16 March 1852. Peter Stewart Conning is my great grandfather. In the 1851 census of Scotland, Catherine is listed as the wife of a seaman. In the 1861 census, Catherine is listed as the seaman's widow. Catherine, Ann Jane, Robert and Peter then came to Australia on the John Temperley ship in 1867. I found the church records of a Robert Conning b 16 Mar 1817 in Whithorn, son of Anthony Conning and Agnes Broadfoot. I think he is the Robert, husband to Catherine. However, unless I can find his death records, I can't link my family to his. He may have died at sea but I don't know. Do you have any information on this family and in particular, Robert! married to Catherine? This is a long shot. Hoping you might help. Regards, Janis Mason |
