Hi List After many a long year searching for the origins of this family, I'm trying once again to see if there is anyone out there searching for these girls. Mary Fitzgerald bc 1808 married around 1830 to James Fitzgerald. Two daughters Catherine bc 1832 and Mary Ann bc 1834. The girls were all convicted of stealing a quilt, a coat and a gown - they were tried in Fermoy in October 1848. Mary snr was sentenced to transportation (to Tasmania) and the girls were allowed to accompany their mother. On Mary's (snr) convict papers she states that she was a widow with no relatives. Haven't been able to find Mary (snr) marriage or even the baptisms of the girls in Ireland. Regards Helen
