Eliza travelled on the Tippoo Saib arriving in Sydney in 1850. Her parents were Thomas and either Mary or Ann. She is my gg grandmother.

The records for Tisaron/Gallen?ferbane RC parish https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0150 start in 1819 However, when I search the subscription site Roots Ireland, I did not see any baptismal records for an Eliza Walsh. I did see a record for a John Walsh in 1829 with father Thomas Walsh and mother Ann Cash. Are you aware of any siblings for Eliza?
Have you considered a DNA test?

Thank you Roger.
I am not aware of any siblings Eliza may have had but that doesn't mean that there weren't any. I have her date of birth as 1834/35 so the time frame for John Walsh's baptism could be about right. Also, on the Famine Orphan register Eliza's parents are shown as Thomas and Ann so there may well be a connection.
I have had a DNA test through Ancestry.
Thank you for your research,
Kind regards,
Rosalie Busch
