Hi patchem Thanks for quick reply:

DOB & POB look okay had dob as approx 1873 as married 25yrs in 1898.

But as suggested maybe unlikely unless ships berthed in South Australia before going to Queensland as after marriage and when widowed went to South Australia from Kalgoorlie Western Australia and a son had already gone there so have been assuming family connections to Adelaide. As on Sayers side were some cousins.
As only just starting off with Kate hopefully can find some Irish records to show more.
