Looking for information on Ellen Kearney's family.  Ellen married Patrick James Dennehy on 12 Jan 1850 at Ss Peter & Paul, County Cork, Ireland.  A witness was Kate Kearney  They migrated to Australia on board the Almora arriving in February 1855.  Patrick then aged 45 and Ellen 33 suggesting she was born around 1822.  They had with them their one year old son, Richard.  Also travelling with them was Kate Karney aged 24.  Ellen died in Tamworth, NSW on 14 Feb 1890 then aged 62 which suggests she was born in 1828.  A notice in a Melbourne, Victoria paper on her death reads “DENNEHY. —On the 14th inst., at Tamworth, N.S.W., Ellen, relict of the late Patrick Dennehy, of St. Kilda. Cork papers please copy”.  Her death certificate gives father's first as unknown and occupation as "Landed proprietor in Ireland" and mother's name appears to be Margaret Lenehan.
