Bernice, I have since discovered a birth certificate of John James Horrigan
son of Daniel. John James was born in October 1891 and Daniel's age is given
as 45 years, which would make his year of birth 1846 and if he died in 1916
he would have been aged 70 at death not 73 as the death certificate says.If
he was 46 years in Qld in 1916 his arrival in Qld would have been 1870.
Therefore he would have been aged 24 years at time of arrival.
Des.
