Cunningham Family Koroit Street 1856

Donna Aitken • 08/04/20

My 2x great grandfather Robert Cunningham and his wife Mary owned freehold land and tenements in Koroit Street in 1856. (source Australian Electoral Rolls 1856). He was a Labourer born in 1824 in Kircudbrightshire Scotland. They were married in 1851 in Warrnambool. Mary was an Irish settler named Mary Parkes who had migrated with her family in 1839 on the "Garrow" from Co Down. Robert and Mary had 6 children born in the area.
