Hi Mike, thanks for all your messages.

I received a pack of details re the Carmody brothers in New South Wales. It appears Bridget, Patrick's wife gave a different mother's sur name with just about every child she had baptised. Some have Duggan, Doughan, Doolan and another Doohan on their baptismal certificates. I believe Bridget must have had a strong accent. Patrick Carmody was always listed as father.

So far no one has been able to find their marriage. One relie even thinks the may not have been married.

I thought perhaps shipping emmigration might say where they were from when they went on board at Cork.

Regards Zoe
