My wife and I are visting in August from Australia. I would love to know if anyone is connected to famine immigrant Rosanna Cartwright, born in Edenderry about 1830. Dad John, mother Jane Cahill.
I also am connected to Mary Daly, born in Kings County around 1845. Father Denis, motherHonora Carey.
If anyone has information or is connected, it would be great to hear from you. Thanks.

Doc:
I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland and located baptismal records for three likely siblings of Mary Daly. All three records were in the Shinrone RC church and baptismal records for that parish start in late February 1842. My guess is that Mary Daly was born before February 1842 and therefore no record will be available. https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0760
Michael Daly baptized December 15 1844 at Shinrone father Denis Daly and mother Onny Carey (Onny was a nickname for Honora) Sponsors Stephen Daly Mary Clear
Catherine Daly baptized November 29 1846 at Shinrone father Denis Daly mother Honora Kary Sponsors Denis Daly Esther Daly
Peter Daly baptized July 18 1852 at Shinrone father Denis Daly mother Honora Kary Sponsors Timothy Daly Catherine Kary
All three records shows a place name of Derry. There is no Derry townland in Shinrone civil parish so likely a local place name.
I did not find any baptismal records for children of John Cartwright and Jane Cahill.

Many thanks, Roger. The addition of Shinrone and narrowing of baptisimal dates is much appreciated. Regards, Greg.
