Hi Everyone,
Looking for Anne King and James Walsh and family. It looks like they married in Dublin 1811. There must be more children other than my ancestor Sarah Walsh who came to Australia in 1836 on board the ship "Sir Charles Forbes. I would love to know more about her family in Ireland. I can't find a record of Sarah's birth for parents James and Anne. Could she have taken another name due to her being in Mountjoy Prison and then sent to Australia for stealing boots? Maybe she wasn't born in Dublin. Some state that she was 16, 18, 20. On her death certificate it states that she was 79 years in 1899. That would make her born 1820
I did find a newspaper article that stated she stole boots along with a person by the name of Mary Anne Downey/Downie. They were both considered Irish Rebels. I think Mary Anne came to Australia on the same ship.
I would be most grateful for any information. I have added a photo of James and Anne/Ann Walsh which must have been sent to Sarah by her parents. Everything I have points to Dublin City.
Regards,
Cheryl Stevens
