It was actually the Brampton, not Brompton. On board was a Michael Ahern from Co. Tipperary 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 and in 1829 petitioned to marry Judith Kennedy at Kinreagh. He was a ploughman and had been transported for life. He died in 1840 at Port Macquarie. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | The Ahern Family Genealogy Website Acton, Massachusetts | http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~aherns/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
