Hi Elaine,

GOOD NEWS, I THINK I FOUND YOUR JAMES AND ELIZABETH MC CULLOUGH!!!!

This is the first time I feel like I have been able to help anyone requesting
info!

p. 54 James & Elizabeth McCullough (no ages given)

Emigrant address: Coleraine
Shipping Line: J & J Cooke
Ship: Superior
To: Philadelphia
Year: 1849

Neither the J & J Cooke or the Wm. McCorkell & Co. shipping lines provide an
exact date as to when the ships sailed, McCorkell does include the month.

There were many passengers on the ship from the townland of Coleraine, their
last names were Gray, Pollock, Gillespie, Lynn, McLamont, Cochran, Millen,
Doherty, Glenn, Kennedy, Burns, Devenny, Helphill, McCurdy, Lyons, Hunter, Luss,
McIntyre, Mooney, and Sweeny; I'm including them in case they ring a bell in
terms of your family history.

I took a look on the web to see if I could find a picture of the Superior,
but no luck. I did find this bit of info:


SUPERIOR
The ship name ""SUPERIOR" was a ship of the J & J Cooke Fleet. She was owned
from 1845 to 1856. J & J Cooke operated out of Derry, Ireland, for their North
American Route. During the 26 year period , from 1847 to 1867 the firm's
passenger fleet served her well, with the SUPERIOR and the ELIZABETH making 16
Atlantic Passenger Crossings. Sickness and shipwreck were 2 hazards faced by
passengers. The death rate at sea, during the famine years increased twelve-fold.
Ship fever left 60 of the SUPERIOR'S 360 passengers dead before they arrived
in Quebec in 1847. [Posted to the Emigration-Ships Mailing List by M.L. Durse -
5 October 1997]
Here is information about the book I found your McCulloughs listed in:
