I have new Information on my 2nd Great grandmother Ann Hyde. Anne married John Mcguiness in australia and is buried in the melbournegeneral cemetary with John.
Ann and her 2 sisters left Cork on the ship Enmore for Australia in October 1841. They were 18, 16 and 15 years old. No parents travelled with them. Where they orphaned? Did they leave in Cork or just leave from the port?
Is anyone related to the Hyde families? Did they live in Cork?
Thanks in advance.

for reference - the three children are listed on the Assisted Immigrant Passenger List as Hanora age 18 (c1823), Betty 16 (c1825) and Biddy 15 (c1826), all house servants, can read and write, religion Roman Catholic, Native Place 'Cork' - does not specify if this means Co. Cork or Cork city.
There were quite a few Catholic Parishes Co. Cork, about 100, and not all have records back as far as the 1820s...
do you have marriage and/or death certs for any of the sisters ? any mention of their parents names ?
