Member Since: November 2005 Posts: 38 Send Message	Hello, I'm trying to find the family of Henry and wife Elizabeth McVeigh, and their son Patrick, who arrived at Portland 1855 aboard the ship Balnaguith, which sailed from Plymouth July 1855. Henry is listed as an ag labourer, aged 28 born in Armagh, and came to Australia to work for a Mr Holmes at Sand Hills for 6 months. I'm trying to find out if Henry was a sibling of my gggrandmother Sarah McVeigh, daughter of Patrick and Mary Ann (nee Hatherton) who came from Armagh, Ireland. Any help would be just wonderful. Many thanks, Rosie
