As there are 6 with that exact spelling and many others you will have to provide us with some more information.

DOB
Parish
Siblings/childrens names etc.

I'm looking for one whose husband was Thomas, and born in Ireland, probably Limerick, possibly Croom (or Cromagh.)  Husband may or may not be in the household at this point, may have been transported to Australia.  Unsure how many children in the house; Does that narrow it enough? I'm flying pretty blind here.

Thanks for your kindness.

PS  A woman old enough to have been a mother in 1837, so born before 1820, I'd guess.  Almost certainly not literate.

Thank you for your kindness.  Will check our notes on the possible children.  This was most gracious of you.
