I am researching the family of my gg grandmother Ellen Connors who was in Sydney in September 1841. in 1854 she sponsored for immigration Hanora Burke born around 1820 and Ellen Burke born about 1840. I believe Hanora was Ellen's sister married to James Burke in Killmallock Limerick in 1839. There were three children Helen 1840, Eliza 1846 and James 1850. Ellen also sponsored William Connors in 1853. Ellen Connors had a daughter Honora in December 1841 and later married convict John Friendship in 1844. She died in Redfern Sydney Australia in 1889. Her father was John or James Connors and her mother Eliza Cronin.

Tania:
The subscription site Roots Ireland has a good number of Ellen Connors baptismal records around 1820 in Co. Limerick. However, since Hanora Connors was married in Kilmallock in 1839 then likely Kilmallock was the home parish for Hanora and Ellen. Unfortunately for your research Kilmallock records start in 1839 so if Ellen was baptized in that church, a record would not be available. I also did a search on Roots Ireland and therr were no Ellen Connors baptismal records with a mother with the surname Cronin.
