Hi Susan,
I'm sorry I have not been much help re your Eliza. It is frustrating when you hit a brick wall. I found quite a bit of information on Henry Liddup on a site called Historysnoop.com but it only mentioned Mary as being his wife and where they lived and raised their children.
Good luck,
Regards,
Rosalie

Dear Susan,
Hello again. I am guessing you have the following information regarding your Mary Walsh. She was baptized in the parish of Rochfortbridge in the Diocese of Meath on 29/7/1835. She was married to Henry Lindupp at St. Phillips Church in Sydney in 1853 and Eliza was a witness. Both girls surnames were transcribed as Welsh.
This is proof that it wasn't my Eliza as she had married John Howarth in 1851 so would no longer be Walsh.
Yes my gg grandmother had a very 'unfortunate' life and my great grandmother, Sarah, one of her 7 children, gave birth to my grandfather illegitimately which probably points to a rather unstable upbringing.
Kind regards,
Rosalie

Dear Susan,
I have seen your request for more information about Eliza Walsh. It now seems that your Eliza and mine are different people. Following further research I am now thinking my Eliza came from County Offaly - (she was on the Tippoo Saib with Eliza and Mary Jane). This I cannot confirm but other bits of information have lead me to this conclusion. I met with a lady from Victoria who is a descendant of Mary Jane and she assures me that her sister Eliza is not my Eliza. Sometimes research can become very confusing and frustrating! If I have any other leads that will prove me wrong I will let you know.
My Eliza (also my gg grandmother) remained in Sydney and after a disastrous marriage to my gg grandfather became destitute. Mary Jane married and lived for a time on the goldfields in Victoria. If they were sisters one would wonder why Eliza didn't accompany her sister to Victoria. Regards, Rosalie Busch

Australia Lookups completed / Re: COMPLETED: LOOKUP: British 11th Regiment, "David Malcom" 1845 Norfolk Island

I am also interested in the 1/11th Foot Regiment as my great, great grandfather was a member and either arrived in Australia (Hobart then Sydney) on the Castle Eden or Ramilies in 1845. I have had no luck searching for his name on ships' lists. His name was John Howarth. His brother, Shepherd Howarth was also a member of the regiment and his name does appear on the Castle Eden list.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you but I need records going back to the late 1840's as that's when Eliza and Mary Jane Walsh would have been in the workhouse.

Westmeath / Mullingar Workhouse
« on: Thursday 15 August 13 10:51 BST (UK)  »
i am wondering if there are any remaining records of workhouse inmates at Mullingar in the mid 1800's. My great great grandmother was one of them and was sent to Sydney aboard the "Tippoo Saib" in 1850.
