William Ahern arrived as a convict to Sydney in 1824. Have been unable to locate any information from Ireland. His native place was only stated as Cork.

It was hard to throw a stone in Cork in those days without hitting an Ahern. So you will need a lot more detail before someone can help you. Townland? Approx date of birth? Religion? What have you tried so far?

HI Trigger Happy! Unfortunately I have got only limited information. He arrived in Oz as a convict in Jan. 1824 after being convicted at Summer Assizes in 1823 in the City of Cork, he received a 7 year sentence. His age was given as 30 years. His native place was given as Capwell, Co.Cork.
His wife Judith/Julia McCarthy, born Bandon, arrived also as a convict in Jan. 1823. She had 2 children with her. Their names were Catherine, born c1814 and Ellen c1816. In Oz they had a further 4 children.
On a trip to Ireland I called in to the city of Cork looking for some info in his trial but found all references were missing.
Thanks for your interest
