I think you mean 1823 and not 1923. And yes, it was the Brampton. On board was a Michael Ahern who was landed on April 28 and forwarded to Windsor for distribution. Michael was later listed as being in the employ of William Cox of Hobart Ville. He was sometimes listed as O'Hearn. He was from County Tipperary and in 1829 petitioned to marry Judith Kennedy at Kinreagh. He was a ploughman and had been transported for life and died in 1840 at Port Macquarie. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | The Ahern Family Genealogy Website Acton, Massachusetts | http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~aherns/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
