Lenane and Ford from Drumherst (or similar named area)

[J Dickens]

I am looking for any information on Thomas and mary Lenane who came over to Australia in 1849 on board the ship Emma Eugenia with their daughter bridget who is listed as an infant - so under 2 I suppose.

They were both Roman Catholics and were labourers / house servants

Thomas was born around 1825 and his parents names were Thomas Lenane and Bridget UNKNOWN

Mary was born around 1829 and her parents were Patrick Ford and Hannah UNKNOWN

any help that you could give would be greatly appreciated - even the name of the parish area.

Thank you

[J Dickens]

Is there anyone out there who can shed any light on Drumherst or ancestors of this family?

thanks
