He was my 5th great grandfather and we are going on a school excursion there soon. I can't believe that he got on there. Then again I have another family member on there and my grandpa's 2nd cousin is married to the queens cousin so I am officially royal. My 12th great grandfather was married to King Louis the 3rds sister

Mary Ryan arrived per "Victory" on 24 March 1854 at Fremantle. Apparently she was from Nenagh, County Tipperary, Ireland. She married William Sermon in 1855.
