Hello Annette!
We may researching the same person... I have recently found out that I have a great, great, great grandmother named Bridget Dore who immigrated out to Sydney Australia around 1850. She married William Russell and had 5 children, settling first in Sydney, then moving on to Brisbane with the birth of her daughter ( and my direct descendant) Christina.
Bridget is listed on Christina's birth certificate as having been born in Limerick, Ireland and being 30 years old as of 17th October 1864, so that would have put her at age 16 when she emigrated, so born 1834. This is the only discrepancy I can find.
Bridgets other children are listed as Alfred ( born approx. 1852), William T (1854), Emily (1860), Susan (1862), and 2 children deceased.
Please feel free to contact me..I'm happy to send thru copies of what I have. If you have a copy of the passenger list for the Maria, I'd really appreciate that too!
Kind Regards,
Sarah
