I’m seeking a lead on my Irish ancestry

Owen and Catherine had 12 children and one of them Peter was my four times great-grandfather.

He is believed to have left Cork in May 1834 and arrived in St John's in July 1834, on board the Levant Star. He was listed as 32 years of age and travelling possibly with his brother and an 18-year-old named Abbey, whose identity is unknown.
