Replying to:
My father's name was John McGovern, his father was Owen and his mother Margaret. They migrated to Aus in approx 1912. They were settlers in the Burdekin area of Queensland. Dad had 2 brothers, Owen - never married, and Patrick who married and had 3 children. My father and mother had 10 children, all live in Queensland. Dad also had 2 sisters, Molly and Katie, both married but no children.
I believe my father was born in Glasgow in 1906, of Irish parents. We have no real detail of any time before this.
