Through DNA there is a link with the Gillespie and Diffen/Diffin families.
Her marriage certificate states her parents as Samuel McConnell and Margaret Gillespie, and that she lived in Lisburn in Scotland. Those details were written by her husband, and it would seem that her accent or lack of educational skills could be to blame. There is no Lisburn in Scotland, there is one in Ireland, to the north and near Belfast.
For some reason the person writing the marriage details recorded her name as Margaret Brown McConnell.
Samuel McConnell and Margaret Gillespie had at least two children, and going by the strict naming patterns, they probably also had a son named Samuel McConnell.
The known children were John McConnell and Margaret McConnell.
It is highly likely that Samuel McConnell's father was John McConnell.
It is highly likely that Margaret Gillespie's father was Thomas Gillespie who married Christina.
However there are very strong links that Margaret Gillespie may be related to or associated with the family of James McConnell and his wife Margaret Ann Diffen
James born in 1812 and was the son of John McConnell.
Were Samuel and James brothers?
He married Margaret Ann Diffen born 1810. The McConnell's were most probably of Scottish origin who settled in Ireland as part of the Plantation Settlers.
They would have been Presbyterian, and they formed the Irish Church. The English were given land to grow crops.
The Irish families were not allowed to own land.
King James at first chose fifty-nine Scotsmen of high social standing and influence and nearly as many Englishmen, together with fifty-six military officers or "servitors" and eight-six natives, as undertakers who were to receive estates of 2,000 acres of less, in all counties but Londonderry which was reserved for the Corporation of the City of London. Eventually, by 1630, some undertakers acquired as much as 3,000 acres, and estates in County Londonderry came into private hands.

A rich source of genealogical information regarding Presbyterian ministers and their families is the Fasti of the Irish Presbyterian Church, 1613-1840. The records were compiled by the late Rev. James McConnell, and revised by his son, the late Rev. Samuel G. McConnell. The work was published by the Presbyterian Historical Society, Belfast, 1951.
James and Margaret McConnell had 8 children:
James McConnell b 1834 d 1896 m Mary Jane Birmingham
Mary Ann McConnell b 1835 d 1921 m Thomas Pettit and Thomas Dawson
Margaret McConnell b 1837 d 1915 m Arthur Tillot
Robert McConnell b 1839 d 1863
Susan McConnell b 1841 d 1920 m Robert Henry Morris
John Joseph McConnell b 1844 1937 m Lily Forrest
Eliza Jane McConnell b 1846 1937 m George Vye
Elizabeth McConnell b 1851 1856 died on the ship
In 1856 the family travelled to Australia on the ship "Winifred". They were sponsored by the eldest son James.
In 1852 a James McConnell from Killyleagh in Armagh arrived in Sydney on the Switzerland as did his sister Mary Ann McConnell who was a house maid.
Interestingly the family lived in Leyburn, (Lisburn) Ireland.
We travelled to Lisburn one Sunday morning in 2014, and realised just how close the town was to Belfast. Almost every shop had roll down shutters over the windows and doors. While peace exists, and driving down the infamous streets of Belfast is now quite safe, it was confronting to see.

Some possibilities in this puzzle
The details on Margaret McConnell's marriage certificate have been changed by someone who works in Victorian Births Marriages and Deaths. The name Brown has been added, possibly trying to match people, but this has provided no end of trouble in trying to find information.
But like a jigsaw puzzle, this is no different.
The missing parts to the puzzle include:
Common links
Firstly she had to arrive in Australia, and as she married in Melbourne,
Marg McConnell arrived 31st August 1857 in Melbourn on the Ben Nevis aged 20 seems the most likely, as this Margaret was an Irish spinster.
Was her brother also with her? Jno McConnell aged 23 occupation ???
In December 1857, Margaret married Montagu John Felton Durnford, at the property which both of them were working.
Her life with Montagu was not easy and that has been detailed in his posts.
They moved about the country, as he seemed to be working on the gold coaches, as a gold policeman, but where-ever they lived it would have been quite difficult, raising children under a tent.
In 1871, they had a daughter Harriet, however she then died in the same year.
In 1872, she formed a relationship with George Bills. She had her daughter Charlotte with her, and at the time, Charlotte was 4 years old. She and George were living near Gravesend, in Northern New South Wales, and the area was mined for gold.
George was a miner. He lived at Sofala, and life must have been a lot more settled for Margaret, as she and George had two more children.
William Bills born 1875 and John George Bills born 1878.
However, at this time, she also had left behind in Newcastle, her daughter Francella.
Charlotte was placed in care, and when she married aged 16, she was required to seek the permission from the appointed guardian. James Muir. Did this occur due to her mother's death?
Leaving her second daughter Francella, must have been difficult for Margaret, as she then took the name Francella Bills.
Unfortunately she died at Bullock Island in Newcastle in 1879,
As it happens, this information was sourced the day prior to us leaving on a holiday to NSW. A lot of research occurred on that day, which then allowed me to "Walk in Margaret's Footsteps"
But none of this would have been found, if it had not been for another of our cousins contacting me earlier in the year. Her great grandmother was Charlotte Durnford. Charlotte wrote poems and had a great memory. Then it occurred to me that Charlotte was expressing her life in her poems.
George Bills may of course have had limited knowledge of Margaret's history when he completed the Birth certificate.
He states that Margaret, Francella, daughter of Samuel McConnell, was born in Charleston USA.
He also stated they married in 1872 in Gravesend, NSW, and they had 3 children, 2 boys and a girl.
Not quite correct! That will be shown in following posts.
Unfortunately there are no records of Margaret McConnell, Francella Bills at the Christ Church Cathedral Cemetery in the grounds, Church Street Newcastle.
Whether by co-incidence or relationship, the focus on the McConnell's who lived in Bolton Street Newcastle, is due to the fact that Charlotte Durnford also lived in Bolton Street when she married.
Who did she live with?

James Gillespie
James Gillespie arrived on the Portland, in 1838. The Portland was a ship which had been organised by Dr John Lang. James Gillespie was a baker.

Wikipedia
Lisburn's original site was a fort located north of modern-day Wallace Park. In 1609 James I granted Sir Fulke Conway, a Welshman of Norman descent, the lands of Killultagh in southwest County Antrim. During the 1620s the streets of Lisburn were laid out just as they are today: Market Square, Bridge Street, Castle Street and Bow Street. Conway brought over many English and Welsh settlers during the Ulster Plantation; he also had a manor house built on what is now Castle Gardens, and in 1623, a church on the site of the current cathedral. In 1628, Sir Edward Conway, brother to the now deceased Sir Fulke, obtained a charter from King Charles I granting the right to hold a weekly market. This is still held in the town every Tuesday.The Manor House was destroyed in the accidental fire of 1707 and was never rebuilt; the city's Latin motto, Ex igne resurgam ("Out of the fire I shall arise"), is a reference to this incident.
Lisburn Market House – now forming part of the Irish Linen Centre/Lisburn Museum
Lisburn is also known as the birthplace of Ireland's linen industry, which was established in 1698 by Louis Crommelin and other Huguenots. An exhibition about the Irish linen industry is now housed in the Irish Linen Centre, which can be found in the old Market House in Market Square.
In 1920, disturbances related to the ongoing Irish War of Independence saw almost all of Lisburn's Catholic businesses burned out and many of the town's Catholic population forced to flee. The town was one of the first to recruit special constables, who went on to become part of Northern Ireland's Ulster Special Constabulary.
