Unfortunately, I have been unable to make any progress with the family in Ireland. Maurice, his wife Catherine ( Cruise ) and baby daughter Mary (b 1853, Birr ) arrived in N.S.W. Aust in 1854. There may well be a connection to your forebear Timothy as the family came from the same area, but my research does not extend that far. Cheers. Shirley
