Looking for details on the first marriage of Robert Quirk who was born in Liverpool in 1819. When he married in Australia in 1856, he stated was a widower(wife died Nov 1854 - where?) with 3 children, but whether they all came with him or not we don't know. The only one who definitely did was Malvina Christina Quirk b c1849 but her birth does not appear to be on the IGI. Can't find the shipping details of the arrival either.
I have found 2 births which MAY be the missing children, both born to Robert Quirk and a Mary Allgood.:-Helene Sarah Quirk bap 1846 Kirk german, IOM and Robert Frederick bap 1848 St Nicholas Liverpool.

Does anyone know of this Robert Quirk? Can anyone confirm or otherwise, that Mary Allgood was his wife??

We know that there was a Manx connection, or so family lore has it, so wonder if his father William Quirk was from there.

Please help!!
