  • Hi Brenny,

    Is it..........     Andrew Kennedy and Catherine Denis?

    Or................... Catherine Andrew and James Kennedy?

    Or..............Catherine Andrew and James Kennedy?

    The list of others are they the children?

    In 1848 what age were the ones who were sent to Tasmania?

    Thanks

  • Hi Brenny,
    They may have been sentenced at Rathkeale and not be from there, which is a problem trying to find them.
    I checked the tithe records (1823 to 1837) for any Andrew Kennedy (the father) and none listed in County Limerick.
    Griffiths Valuation has............an Andrew Kennedy in a place called Kilkeedy which is north east of Rathkeale.
    Griffith's Valuation (askaboutireland.ie)
    I looked in that are for the births and the records are very faint.
    Another helper on her would search the rootsireland site for you.
    I checked the other sites I use but birth don't appear, sorry.
    Deaths were not listed until 1864 when the Civil Records were introduced.

    The only other results ...................
    James Kennedy trial in 1848........the ship went to Tasmania in August 1849.
    Catherine arrived 7th October 1848
    I will look again.

  • Hi Margot ,

    Thanks for the information and help.

    Would there be any information on the person charging them a Elinor Donoghue apparentley her cow that they stole?

    Maybe this may lead to an area.

    Thanks again for your help.

    Kind regards 

    Brenda

  • HiBrenda,
    I had another look to see if I could find a Denis Kennedy in later records.
    There is one in Graigue, Rathkeale.    
    Griffith's Valuation (askaboutireland.ie)
    Graigue Townland, Co. Limerick (townlands.ie)

    I will look again to see if I can find anything. The Elinor Donohoe nothing as yet.

  • Hi I searched the NLI registers and saw this........see below.
    Can not see Catherine or James. 
    This area is quite a way from Rathkeale but as I said they may have had their trial there and not lived there.

  • Hi Brenny, I didn't say she married a Bamber guy.

    The 15th July was entered without a name, sorry but it wasn't me.
    I don't have access to Austrlain records.
