Mary Kirwin came to Australia in 1850 on the ship "Maria" as a 15 year old. Her parents, Timothy and I think Martha, were deceased. She had been a farm servant in County Carlow, and was listed as C of R ; church of Rome or Roman Catholic.Unfortunately we don't know any more of her history in Ireland ( we know a great deal about her life in New South Wales - she is my great great grandmother.)I am hoping she had some brothers who had sons , who had sons, etc., and maybe I have some fourth cousins.My fingers and toes are crossed for good luck. maryk
