I am looking for information about my Great Great Grandmother Mary Graham [Greahan?] born in Easkey, County Sligo between 1822 and 1828 to Edward and Mary Graham[Sheriden].She was said to be the oldest of six children and after her father [said to be a soldier] died emigrated to Australia from Liverpool on the ship "Formosa" arriving in Port Jackson 14/07/1842. She stated she was Roman Catholic and 18years old but later documents suggest she could have been as young as 13 years old when she left Ireland. She was unable to read or write. In 1842 she married John Sharp and had 7 children. After John died in 1860 she married a George Doherty and Mary died in 1881 from bowel cancer. I want to know what happened to her Mother and her siblings, I have been unable to confirm a year of Mary's birth.
