I am also descended from Daniel Garrett and Catherine Costain. My great grandmother was Mary Ann Garrett who was born 6 Jan 1834 and emigrated to NSW, Australia, with her sisters, Jane and Eleanor (Ellen) in 1853. I have been unable to find either Daniel or Catherine in the 1841 or 1851 census. Both were dead by 1853.

On Mary Ann's death certificate Daniel's occupation is listed as "licensed victualler" not mason.

I have also been unable definitively to find Daniel's birth date and parents. My best guess is that his parents were John Garrett and Ann Radcliffe. I would be interested in knowing what proof there is that my Daniel was their son.

I would be interested in hearing which child of Daniel and Catherine Joyce is descended from.
