Hi Leanne,
Ros May has established that Margaret Mitchell Truran was born in Victoria in 1856 and did not immigrate with her parents in 1852.
Could you please remove the suffix in her profile to correctly reflect this?
Many thanks, Tracie-Lee

There is a screen shot of the manifest on the fathers profile
It has
John Morris age 33
Mrs Morris age 30
John Morris age 4
Marg Morris age 1

So their daughter Margaret born 1851 emigrated to Australia and died sometime between 1852 and 1856 and they named a daughter born in 1856 by the same name.

Looking at the revisions of the profile it was originally added as Margaret born 1851 emigrated to Australia in 1852 but was altered to be her sister Margaret born 1856 married to TRURAN even though there were sources on the profile proving her birth year and emigration to Australia.

Rather than try to revert all the changes I have added another profile and moved the sources.
