I'm looking for information on the families of my 2x Great Grandmother,,Catherine FLEMING, (1836-1921).She was born in Arles/s,formerly Killabban Parish,in Queens County,now Laois,the daughter of James FLEMING and Catherine KEATING, from the same Parish.I'm seeking to confirm that she had these siblings,as I can't find any trace of them in the Irish Catholic Parish Registers...FINTON,FRANCIS,CHRISTOPHER,BRIDGETT,MARY,JAMES and possibly a THOMAS.Catherine emigrated to Victoria,Australia in October,1857,on the "Mindoro" with her brother Patrick (b C1831) on the same voyage..She met up with Henry BARLOW,(1832-1913) an English goldminer,and settled in the Rushworth area with him,bringing up their ten children.I would be grateful for any information on Catherine's possible siblings.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I searched on Roots Ireland and one other data base and did not find any records for the siblings. Possibly they were baptized in a parish which does not have any records back to that time period. The parish to the south east (Mayo and Doonane) has records starting in 1843. That is the only explanation I can come up with.
