Hello,

I am looking for information on three Kelly sisters, Ann (or Catherine), Hannah and Winifred who came to Australia as orphans in 1849 aboard the ship Pemberton. Winifred was 18, Hannah 14 or 15 and Annie was 16. On Annie' s death certificate her parents were listed as John Kelly and Ann Slatttery of Kilrush. The girls may have had a brother. 

Kind regards,

Colette

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    I looked for your Kelly ancestors on Find My Past and did not see their baptismal records in the Kilrush RC records with the parents you listed. The records for that parish start in 1827 for baptisms and 1829 for marriages and here is a link to the parish register

    Have you considered autosomal DNA testing?

  • Thanks so much Roger,

    Yes I have had my DNA done and I hope that someone might get in contact one day.

    All I have to go on at this stage it the information from Ann Kelly's death record. 

    Kind regards,

    Colette
