Sarah Ann Doherty b. 1838 of County clare and family
« on: Friday 02 August 13 07:55 BST (UK) »
I am looking for any information I can find on Sarah Ann Doherty of County Clare.
The only information I have is the following

Born 1 Jan 1838 of County Clare
Arrived Perth, Western australia on ship named 'city of bristol' in 1856.
Married William Hill of Gingin in 1858.


Ship records only show age, and that she was a servant along with most of the ship.  A great number of the passengers were from Ireland with the same occupations.  Maybe still mass emmigrating from the years of famine?

If I don't find anything, or no one is able to help in information, can someone point me to a professional as this is my last resort to find out about Sarah's family and ancestors.

Hi

On another website (http://www.ourlibrary.ca/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=5236) Sarah Ann's father is named as James Doherty.

This may narrow down the search.

Cheers
