I've just discovered another convict in my tree. Tried at Clare 25 Feb 1834 and sentenced to death - comuted to transportation, arriving in Australia on the Blenheim in 1834.
Mention was made at the trial of his uncle Michael McHENRY 10 years previously which I assume meant that he was also convicted of a crime.
Australian records indicate that his uncle was actually called Michael McINERHNY of the village of LISDEEN in the Parish of Kilfeareagh.
A search of the Tithe Appointment Books for 1820-1840s shown both the SULLIVAN and the McINERHNY names in the Kilfeareagh parish.
Would like to contact anybody with connection to these names.
With thanks,
Gail
