Mary Ann Leonard from Tipperary, Ireland

[dianejd]

I am looking for any information on my great great grandmother Mary Ann Leonard.
Mary was born c1834 Tipperary, Ireland. According to her marriage certificate her fathers name was Michael Leonard, occupation unknown. On her death certificate it lists mother as unknown.
Mary was in Australia by 1853 as she married Arthur Carter 15 Oct 1853 St.James CoE, Sydney, NSW, Australia. Mary died 14 Apr 1868 in Bushrangers Flat, Taemas, NSW, Australia. According to the details supplied by her husband Arthur at the time of her death she had been in NSW for 14yrs which would make arrival around 1852.
It was thought that Mary had a brother Michael who was sent to Australia as a convict and that Mary had come to Australia to support him. We have found 2 convicts Patrick Leonard neither of which appear to be connected to Mary but no record of a convict Michael Leonard.
Any assistance with Irish records would be greatly appreciated.
regards
Diane

Hi Diane and welcome to Rootschat,

Tipperary is an unfortunate county when it comes to resources.

I had a quick look in Tipperary South but nothing obvious shows up. Not all of the records are available here.

Try Tipperary North for Mary and Michael at

http://tipperarynorth.brsgenealogy.com/map.php

Its free to register and search but costs €5 per view. Too rich for my pocket.

Good luck with your search.

I'll keep an eye out for Mary Ann.  I'm looking for an Anne Leonard that married Peter Hellebert in Laghtea, Castletownarra around 1840.
