Searching for any Johnson relatives in Meath.

My ancestor Mary Johnson b.1776 and transported on the Telicherry with the "Telicherry Five" i.e. Michael Dwyer, Hugh Vesty Byrne, Martin Burke, Arthur Devlin and John Mernagh, had two children with John Mernagh.  As Mary was  29 yrs old when she set sail possibly she had left a husband/children/Mum & Dad, siblings behind.

Anyone wanting information on how Mary fared in Australia I am happy to share.

  • Dear Mary:

     

    I just saw your query to Ireland Reaching Out.  Are you aware of the book that was written by Kieran Sheedy entitled "The Tellicherry Five?"  He is living outside Tulla, County Clare.  The book is very well-done and contains lots of information with regard to those transported at that time.  

    Kind regards,

     

    Jane.

  • Hi Kim

    I believe that Mary is also an ancestor of mine through a son Michael, Fathered by Michael Gillespie (convict , Ship Indian). 

    I am sorry I have no information to share but would be grateful for any information I can find about her
