 I am interested in Deborah Lennard (Leonard) - my great (x3) grandmother b. 1816 in Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland (maybe!). Deborah Leonard, Job: Cook; Wages: £10; Age: 18; Ship: James Pattison; Arrival Date: February 11, 1836; Location: Sydney, NSW; Status: Passenger; Employed by: Mrs. J.B. Bettington; Residence: Piercefield, Hunters River, NSW, Australia. [Biog Item No. 100233363]. I have plenty of info on her after arrival in Aust. What I am seeking is names/details of parents and location along with any Sources. I note there was an Isabella Leonard on the Red Rover in 1832 but know nothing about her and any possible connection. I have been trying to get my hands on your (unavailable) book Colonial Duchesses. Here's some more notes I have on her: Deborah was baptised 8 January 1816 in Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland. Name at Baptism is given in the register as "Gobineta Leonard" - Gobinet/Gobnait is an Irish Christian name which was anglised to 'Deborah' (the Irish Saint Gobnait (Feast day 11 February) Saint Gobnait had a strong affinity with bees and the biblical name “Deborah” literally means “bee”.) Deborah's parents are stated as Michael (Michalis) Leonard and Mary (Maria) Horgan; sponsors James (Jacobus) Fitzgerald and Mary (Maria) Fitzgerald. [Source: Catholic Parish Registers NLI, Tralee, Microfilm 04269/03] Deborah emigrated from Cork, Ireland on the James Pattison, aged 18 years, leaving 31 Oct 1835 and arriving in Sydney 7 February 1836. This was one of the first London Emigration Committee voyages of Irish single women to Australia. On arrival, she was employed by Mrs J.B. Bettington as a cook at an annual wage of 10 pounds, receiving a further 12 pounds if remained for 12 months. She remained for 20 months. She married Mathew Devine on 16th October 1837 at Glendon, New South Wales, Australia, by Banns by G.K. Rusden, Chaplain, the witnesses were Helenus Scott of Glendon and Mary Rochford of Jerry's Plains. They had an estimate 15 children including the following together, born 1838-1861 at Paterson, Vacy and Gresford, NSW.
