I believe there is an "Esternow" cemetary in the areas you speak of. May be the name of the townland where it is located. JackieAs to 1846 sailings from Ireland to Canada, try googling "the famine ships." There are ship rosters on Ancestry.com, I bellieve, but you have to have a membership to search them. But googling the above may give you more information and perhaps free search resources.
