Nea McCulloch
The ship ‘Gloriana’
The original Family tree of of Australian, Nea McCulloch was sent to me in October 2012. As a result of the information I put up on the Australian page, Nea was able to confirm her families arrival and origin in Australia.
Her great great grandmother was Teresa Soden , daughter of Joseph Soden, born in Stepney, arrived in Melbourne on the ‘Gloriana’. She married David Heddle from Orkney Islands born in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Her Great grandmother was Elizabeth Mary Heddle , she married Robert John Lawrence McWilliams who came to Sydney from Caledon, in Tyrone.
The McCullochs came from Troon, Ayrshire though Thomas McCulloch was born in County Down in Northern Ireland and arrived in Sydney in 1821 as a prisoner for being a member of the 1820 Scottish Radicals transported for high treason.
