Interestingly this story has 3 paralells to my own research. Abraham Shannon came out to South Australia aboard the 'John Pirrie' twice [1838 & 1843] and he setteled at Duck Ponds/Moculta near Kapunda. THe Shannon family were from Derrybeg Farm near Limavady, Co. Londonderry. My GGmother, Elizabeth Bond was born in Blackwood in 1855. Her father was James Mays Bond who was from East Dereham in Norfolk and his childrens births followed his journey from Point Henry where he got off the boat to Ararat via the various Ballarat district goldfields. cheers John Gilbert johnandheatherg[at]gmail.com
