I couldn't find any of the above Whitesides on www.rootsireland.ie/ I'm afraid.
There are 3 in the Tithe Applotments 1824:(free at http://titheapplotmentbooks.nationalarchives.ie/)

No Whitesides in the 1821 Irish Census (free at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/) but there are 48 in the 1831 - all in Londonderry

Hello I am Caroline Whiteside from Melbourne Australia. All I know is that my great great grandfather was a Henry Whiteside from Co. Sligo. He and his wife Margaret Cuff moved to Glasgow in the 1840s and they died there leaving 3 young children including my great grandfather George who was 2. The children were repatriated to the Sligo workhouse where they lived until they were united with their uncle (on their mother’s side) in Sydney. The children were put on a ship and travelled there.
I don’t know if this is the same family, however.
