:) :D :)Hi everyone I am searching for anyone who has a Mary Jane Kiernan who left Ireland in 1875-76 to come to Australia.
Her father was Thomas Kiernan and mother Catherine Murray. She came to stay with Uncle and Aunt Mick Kelly
-
do you know when Mary was born ?
Full civil registration started here in Ireland in 1864, so if she was born before that you will need to research church records. To do this you will also need to know her religion and where she was born (within the county or city)

thank you Shane Mary was a catholic but I do not know any more about her
I do know that she was twenty when she came and it looks as though she came alone

Hi Cherry06,
Have you tried the Irish genealogy ie site which has records for most (but not all) of the Dublin churches?

Rootsireland.ie (PPV website) have the records for St Pauls Arran Quay. It is showing 7 children baptised to a Thomas Kiernan and Catherine Murray:
John 1844
Christopher 1850
Anne 1853
Mary 1855
Thomas 1858
Peter 1863
Alicia 1869
Hard to tell if this is all the one family as 1844 - 1869 is fairly stretched out, though not impossible.
That looks like the Peter and Alice that you mention and the Mary looks spot on as well for Mary Anne. You would need to purchase credit to see the full results to be sure. They are transcriptions of the records rather than images of the records themselves.
EDIT to add.
The above came up on a search just for St Pauls. it you do an All Ireland search you get 2 more baptisms
John 1845 Co. Meath
Michael 1847 Co Meath
(Co Meath boarders Co Dublin) Anyway the 2 extra children may well indicate this is the one family as sorts of fills the gap between John 1844 and Christopher 1850.
Since there is a second John in '45 - it would indicate that the first John born '44 died in infancy and sure enough Glasnevin Cemetary have a record for 'John Kiernan - died aged 4 weeks' buried there alone in 1844.

I'm afraid that is another PPV site.
The only one that will have a Civil Registration Birth Cert will be Alice/Alicia - if you are interested in getting that, then that should be easy enough to source.
Anyway, a few leads to continue your search (if expensive ones) !!!

It looks as if John died 1844 lived in Bow St, which isn't far from St Pauls - but check this for yourself - you can do quite a lot of free checking on the Glasnevin site!

Hi everyone thanks for your response I was hoping to find Mary had some family and you have given me hope.
to pet50ite, I think that site is the one I got the records fore Alice and Peter.
to hasta, did the site say Mary's second name was Anne, because my Mary's second name was Jane.
to eadaoin, thanks for the Bow Street address.
Mr Jamison from the Jamison Brewery in Bow street was mentioned on Mary's papers in relationship to sponsorship to Australia and her father Thomas Kiernan was a distiller. The other person who sponsored her was her Uncle Michael Kelly who was married to Anne Murray, probably her mother's sister.
I have been wanting to come to Ireland for the last 3 years but want to know about my ancestors before I come. Getting closer now.
regards and many thanks

Hi Libby,
I don't know if you're still around, or still researching Mary Jane KIERNAN and Thomas FARRAR, but I can help with this. They are my ancestors.
Please let me know...
