Hi Rozzy
Don't want to hi-jack your thread, but I have an Ann(e) RALPH married to a James Quin(n) from Nenagh, Co. Tipperary.
Apart from the fact they had a daughter Catherine, that's all I know.
Sound familiar??
"clutching at straws"
Bren.

Thanks Bren and RonnieG, I appreciate your time and research.
Anne Ralph is very elusive!! She had 8 children to ex convict Edward Langridge in Western Australia starting with Ellen in 1856. No marriage records, but he had previously been married in England before being transported.
It makes sense that she might have been married before, and if she was
born around 1823, would have been over 30 with her new family. As a
coincidence, her third child/daughter 1859 was called Catherine.
'Local records' have her perhaps arriving under her own name in 1853 to WA
on the Clara, but shipping records don't support this. There is no variation
of her Ralph name arriving at all. She could have entered Aus. through Victoria, but she lived in WA at least from 1856 until death 1897. Death details only show that she was born in Tipperary.
So, she could have left a husband and daughter in Ireland and travelled
to Aus via London.....?
Back to the drawing board...
Thanks,
Rozzy

More information that I now have: (from genealogy library)
The demand in Western Australia for single girls and women ... resulted
in false information sometimes given ...during 1853 four large contingents of
Irish girls and women arrived, selected mainly from poorhouses and orphanages of Cork and Dublin... The immigrant ships, the Travencore,
(January), the Palestine (April), the Sabrina (June) and the Clara (September)...
So names are not reliable.
Having said that, I wonder if Bren was on the right track, and that
Ann was married to James Quin/n. There are several James Quinn convicts
listed at the Fremantle Prison, but not conclusive where 2 came from.
So perhaps I should be searching for an Ann/e Quin/n, and/or details
of James Quin/n a convict sent to WA from Ireland.
Should I start a new topic?
Thanks
Rozzy

Would your Ann Ralph be any relation to a Helen (Ellen) Ralph that married a John Robinson. In the mid 1800s they were in Cloughjordan/Borrisokane, Tipperary.

Sorry not married to John Robinson that was one of their many children. Helen (Ellen) Ralph was married to Michael Robinson. John was born abt. 1834.
