My G G grandmother Bridget Mullins was born in Tuam about 1842 and migrated to Australia when she was approx. 14 years old. This information was taken from her obituary. I have been unable to find her on any passenger lists.

I don't know her parents names and I suspect she was illegitimate as when she married (twice) in Australia, her father's name was given as John on one marriage and Timothy on the other. Her first daughter was called Mary Elizabeth and maybe their is a slim chance she was named after her grandmother.

Hoping someone could help break down one of my brick walls.

My Great Grandmother was Eliza Brannon/Branney, born 1881. She married Thomas Miller and later migrated to Australia. I haven't got back very far on the Convery side, I'm afraid. Sarah's father was Thomas, born abt. 1822 in Derry, and his father was Andrew.  I haven't had any luck with Irish records at all. Trying to research from Australia makes it all the more difficult I think.
Sarah's mother Eliza Doran was born abt. 1822 (baptised 13 Jan 1822) Kirk German, Isle of Man. Her parents were Patrick Doran and Margaret Cain.

Hi Kitman,

You don't mention when Jane died. The NSW BMD's are searchable online through this site
