Owing to the religious persecutions in Scotland, the McConaghy’s (MacConachies) left Oban, Scotland to settle in Northern Ireland.
Andrew McConaghy, born 1801, married Matilda Alexander, born 1807. They lived at Bushmills, 4 to 5 miles from Portrush, Northern Ireland, and had 9 sons and 1 daughter. Their daughter Martha was 10 years old when she died from pneumonia. Alexander, born 1836, was the second son of Andrew and Matilda. He decided to emigrate to Australia in 1863.
