Look-up for Three Naughty Girls and Their Family

[WGoodall]

Hello,

I would like to request some assistance in finding family information for three naughty girls – Mary (my GG Grandmother), Margaret and Catherine TAYLOR.

Let me explain:

On 13 July 1849 in Fermanagh, Prosecutor Carlton tried the three sisters for burglary and robbery of muslin; they were each sentenced to 10 years in Australia.  They were sent to Grangegorman to await sentencing and left for Australia on 8 July 1850 on the "Duke of Cornwall".

Unfortunately, during that period in Grangegorman, on 18 December 1849 Catherine died.

BUT
On Mary and Margaret’s convict records* it states “Catherine in America”.  Ughhh!

Father:  James Taylor
Mother:  Catherine
Brothers:  James and John

I would like to learn the dates of birth and location for the parents, James and Catherine, and their two sons James and John.  I would also like to learn how to find the information and hope someone will be able to teach me.

Thank you.

I was just looking at the Grangegorman prison register on FindMyPast ( here's the link if you are a subscriber http://tinyurl.com/l857nph ).

It records that Margaret died of consumption on 18 Dec 1849 and that Catherine was transported with Mary.
