Hi
I am trying to kickstart my family tree research which has hit a dead end in Ireland.
My great-great-great grandmother Mary Clogher (or Cloghen) . was a native of Roscommon, born in 1815, who worked as a housemaid/nursemaid and was transported on the Roslin Castle in 1836 after being convicted of house robbery.
A year after arriving she received permission to marry Patrick Gately who was also born in Roscommon (in 1796) and transported to Australia in 1821 on the second voyage of the ship John Barry. They married in 1837 in Sydney. Their son John was born in July 3, 1846 - the same day Patrick received his full pardon.
If anyone knows anything of Mary's family or of any records in Roscommon that would be of use I'd appreciate their help.
Thanks |
