DWYER Ellen

[topsie3v]

Hi All
I am new to this site.  I have been researching for several years but have come to a halt on the family of my 2nd Great Grandmother Ellen DWYER.I do know that she was transported to Tasmania for 7 years and was shipped out on the Martin Luther in 1852. Her trial was held on 4/07/1851 in Kilkenny City.
I would dearly love some help in finding her parents.  On the papers that I got from Tasmania it showed that she had Brothers, John, James, Edward sister Maria
Thank you for reading this

Hi topsie3v

Welcome to Rootschat 

For clarification and background : since DWYER / O'DWYER is  a common name

According to the Tasmanian Colonial Family Links  Index:
http://www.archives.tas.gov.au/nameindexes
this is the Ellen DYWER who married Luke TAYLOR who was about 1833, is that right? Their application to marry was made in 1853 - on that database, it states she was a convict off the "Martin Luther" and he was free.

The IGI has:
Luke TAYLER and Ellen DWYER marriage (extracted record)  19 Dec 1853 - stating he was 27 and she was 20

Have you seen this website?
http://www.dwyerclan.com/Transportation_Records.htm
On that, Ellen's  is record nr 17, and it states she was 25  - so that would make a year of birth around 1826!

If she married and died in Australia, did her marriage or death records give any indications about her parents? And her age?
