Dear List, I have posted this name before with no luck, so thought i would try again. My gg grandmother was Esther Hall born Enniscorthy circa 1825. I don't have her birth certificate or church records. I found this info on shipping arrivals for Port Jackson Australia. ship was Columbine left Liverpool 20 8 1841 arrived Australia 4 12 1841 Esther was 16, in the care of brother Matthew 21. Sister Anne also arrived with them she was 15. Esther was a house servant. Parents were Alexander and Elizabeth (dead). On Esther's death certificate it says her father was a gunsmith.Are there any records of gunsmiths in Ireland? I think Esther was catholic. How would i go about finding catholic church records for her birth, birth of siblings and parents marriage etc? I have tried the IGI with no luck. Any advise welcome. Sandra in Australia.
