Hello again, team, I wonder if you may be able to help with information about this family, please. My ggrandmother, Bridget Carey, arrived South Australia 1876, on 'Hesperide'.  Passenger List, Marriage Cert. (S.A.), and Death Cert., state she was born in County Clare, religion Roman Catholic. Her parents were Martin CAREY and Bridget MCINERNEY.  They probably married c1853.   <o:p> </o:p>One of their children, Martin, is listed on the IGI as baptised, December 6,1864 at Kilmihil, but local church could not find it and suggested trying Ennis, which I have not done yet. Their other children were Mary Jane b. c1854, Bridget b.c1858, James c1859, Catherine b. C1864, Margaret b.1866, Nora b.1871 and Ellen b. c1874.  All born in Ireland, but I do not know where.  Catherine, Margaret, Ellen, Nora and Martin migrated to America, date unknown.  Mary Jane, James and Bridget came to Australia.  I do not know if their parents migrated. Thanking you in advance, Merle Collins
