Laurence did have a sister Mary, and two brothers Daniel and Patrick, their parents were Laurence and Bridget

The other is for Mary Hickey Parents Laurence Hickey Blacksmith and the mother looks like Biddy ?

who were Mary's parents and her DOB do they tally with this record

Biddy is a pet name for Bridget so there does seems to be a connection

Hi Thelly

Does any one in the family have copy of the death certificate for Catherine, it may say on that where she was born, but the information these is only as good as the informants knowledge, you could also check the marriages for the older children, the later the date the more information was given about the parents

Hi Thelly

Look at this link

Hi Thelly I don't think Catherine b 1823 is your Catherine I have looked at other posts that Kay Steward from this link as done on different sites, and Catherine b 1823 married a James Steward.

Hello MargP,
No my Catherine was not born in 1823, I still believe that the family members who researched her years ago are correct, it is mainly what happened to her family, and how she got to Australia, but I will do what you suggested and perhaps find (or try) the death certificate of my g-grandmother, but as you said that would only show what people knew about them at the time.

There is too much information on Ancestry and Genes Reunited from people researching  Catherine to ignore the fact as to who her parents and siblings were, it is just that none of us can find anything after the 1841 census.

Regards,
Thelly

Hi Thelly

The information about the Royal Saxon was this an handed down storey, or was it found by a family member, I can't find any record for them,I am wondering if the went some where else and then went on to Tasmania?

Hi MargP,

Someone researching the Hincheys was looking at passenger lists from 1841, and found the name Catherine Hinchey, but the age difference was too great.

I will send for a copy of her death certificate, but I'm not sure what would appear from 1913.

Thanks again,
Thelly
