Johannah McIvor

Emanuel Cleal married Johanna McIvor in Inverell, NSW, Australia on 12 February 1866 at the Presbyterian Church. Johannah McIvor (or McIver), aged 12, arrived in Moreton Bay (Brisbane)on the "Sabrina" in 1855 with her parents Angus and Christiana McIvor (nee McLeod) and her siblings Kenneth (8) and Isabella (5). Another Kenneth and a Donald McIvor also travelled to Australia on this ship, and so were probably related to Johannah in some way. Angus and Christiana were married in 1840 in Lochbroom (near Ullapool), Ross and Cromarty, Scotland. I haven't been able to find a birth certificate for either Angus or Christiana in the Scottish records, or indeed a birth certificate for Johannah, but she must have been born about 1844. Once in Australia, it seems that Angus worked as a shepherd and farm labourer around the north western part of NSW and southern Qld, but I have been unable to discover much about him. I can't find death certificates for Angus and Christiana in NSW or Qld either, so they may have moved to another state or returned to Scotland.
