Dear Tabitha
I am a decendant of Eliza Nelligan from County Cork, Ireland. She and her sister Ann sailed to Australia on the Pemberton arriving in 1849. I am trying to find more about Eliza's husband. He was from Sicily - name Joseph or Guiseppe or Josiple Midolo - he was possibly a sail maker on the Pemberton, therefore probably a crew member. I can't see where he left Sicily and I have not been able to trace his family. Do you have any information?
Regards,
Wendy
