Great Grandchildren of Joan Harvey (McConachy)

A book was produced in Australia called "One Man's Family" & is based on the lives of the descendants of Thomas McConachy (Antrim, Ireland) that settled in Port Phillip Bay in Victoria, Australia in 1841.  


'One Mans' Family' is now available in 'ebook' format.  

The research on the McConachy Clan was started in Victoria (Australia) in 1975 and is the basis of this website.

Mary Smallwood

David Craig McConachy

James McConachy

Bridge near Claudy in Norther Ireland

Mary McConachy was born in 1811 at Claudy, County Derry, Northern Ireland.

She married John Smallwood and her three children were born in Derry, Thomas - 1838, John - 1841 and Mary - 1843. 

On 23 September 1853 Mary embarked on the Birmingham at Liverpool, England, and arrived in Melbourne on 4 January 1854. 

She was a fare-paying passenger and her children were Thomas, 17 years, John, 12 years and Mary, 10 years.  

There is no record of her husband John sailing on the same vessel, and it is unknown if he ever went to Australia. 

We concluded that Mary was widowed and came to join her relatives in Australia. 

Mary's brother, Thomas McConachy, had already migrated to Victoria in 1841 with his wife and children.
