Janine, Do you know if she had any siblings? Natasha

Hi Natasha, Unfortunately I know nothing at all about her family. I can't even be sure that John and Mary are her parents names. She had them listed on her death certificate as John Kennedy and Mary McDonald. However they may be somewhat fictitious. Catherine Byrne married a William Reed in 1841 in NSW. After her 5th Child when the law came in to register children her in Australia, her maiden name suddenly changes to "Sarah Kennedy" We think it's because she didn't want the stigma of her convict name going on record. Hence when she dies, the lie she created continues. She may have simply changed her father's name from Byrne to Kennedy to fit the new identity, but for all I know all names may be entirely fictitious. Are you able to send me all the Catherine Byrne children born in 1820 in the town of Kildare with parents names. Perhaps I can trace them through her own children's names. Would that be a big ask? Your guidance sought. Thank you. Janine.
