I'm looking for a Carmody that was sent to an Australian Penal Colony in the 1840's. This Carmody would be the brother of Thomas (1806-1894) and William (1809-1889) Carmody (father's of Wisconsin's "Black Jack" and "Red Jack" Carmody) that were born in County Limerick and left Ireland between 1844 and 1846 and settled in Door County Wisconsin in the 1850's. Thomas and William left with 2 other unknown brothers, one died in Ohio and one settled in Pennsylvania. A 5th brother was to have joined them in their voyage but he was convicted of a crime (presumably theft) and was sent to the Australian Penal Colony with his family (if he had one at the time). I don't have much else to work with at this point but I do believe that the father of the 5 brothers was named John Carmody and would have been born in Ireland sometime between 1750 and 1790. I hope someone can help Rob Carmody
