For the past 18 to 20 years I have been researching my family history including William Corkhill b 1800 on IOM and son of a William Corkhill.
William migrated to Australia in 1836/37 and lived in Melbounre Victoria until he died in 1878. His death record from the Melbourne Hospital has him coming out on the ship "Duke of Argyle" but i can find no record of this.
Despite much help from Frances and others I still cannot establish his mother's name our town of birth.
He may also have been related to a Richard Corkhill born abt. 1812 in Whitehaven, Cumberland.Cumberland
Any help would be appreciated.
