My ancestors, Matthew Kennedy & Bridget Gleeson came to Australia from Toomevara in 1855 on 2 different boats.  They married soon afterwards and procceded to have 17 children.

Matthews parents were Thomas Kennedy and Margaret (or Peggy) Regan (or Reagan). Matthew was born about 1826 - 1830.  I found Baptismal records for his brothers and sisters but not for him

Bridget's parents were Patrick Gleeson and Johanna (or Judy) Dwyer,  Bridget was born between about 1833 to 1840.  I also found baptism records for some of her brothers and sisters, but not for her.

I would be grateful for a link to anyone connected with either Matthew or Bridget

Thanks
