All daughters. This could be my Joseph in the 1850 record you found. Joseph an his family left Ireland around 1853/4. Do you know how far Grange, D ysartenos is from old Marybrough? Another source did find a marriage record for a Joseph Haslam and Mary Hennessey, in 1834 in Laois County. This could be them, I hope. I believe they were Catholic. Their daughter Julia Haslam Sweet was very Catholic. She was my gg grandmother. Joseph an Mary were my ggg grandparents. I thank-you for what you have found.
