I am looking for any information on John Black born 1788 in Armagh Ireland. John Black married Mary Cousins around 1814 and had 2 sons that I know of, Andrew 1816 in Armagh Ireland and Edward born 1814 in Armagh. Andrew was married twice and had a total of 18-21 children. Andrew's first wife was Margaret 'Cousins or Cousens' daughter of Sarah Balance and Thomas Cousens (and same surname as his mother, so the families were possibly related) and they migrated to Australia 1841-1843. Margaret died in 1883 and Andrew's second wife was Sarah Dau who was later married to an Edward Cole after Andrews death.
Can anyone help with more information, leads or a possible connection? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Zandra.
