Mary Ann CARMODY from Kilmaley Clare Ireland

[Lazarus]

I am hoping to find shipping records for Mary Ann Carmody bC1838 Kilmaley Co Clare.
She married William Halliwell by licence at Christ Church Geelong 3 Mar 1857 William Halliwell.
Her parents were Patrick Carmody and Elizabeth Boland.

As their first children were born Chilwell and Geelong I am wondering if she arrived Corio Bay.
I have not been able to find her on the regular migration records.

Any help greatly appreciated.

I have traced my Carmody relatives in Kilmaley back to 1823.  Do you know if Mary Ann Carmody had any siblings that stayed in Kilmaley?  My grandmother was born Ellen Carmody in 1897, died in 1987.  My great grandparents were John Carmody (1861 to 1925) and Mary O'Neill (1861 to 1921).  My great, great grandparents were Thomas Carmody (1823 to 1877) and Hanora Kennedy (1831 to ?). 

John Carmody was an only child to Thomas and Hanora.  There are other Carmody's in Kilmaley as well.  My family is from the town of Connolly, in the Parish of Kilmaley.

Thank you dundeemayer and welcome to RootsChat.
I will refer your Carmody information to my friend who is searching for her Carmody relatives from Kilmaley.
I do hope that we can make a connection.

Best wishes

I assume you have checked out the 3 assisted passage Mary Carmody entries one arriving 1855 and two in 1854?

Hi,
I don't have very much information for my Carmody Ancestors - this is what I know.

Mary Ann Carmody was my gggrandmother, she was born abt.1838 Kilmaley County Clare Ireland. She immigrated to Australia prior to her marriage to William Halliwell in 1857.
Unfortunately I have not been able to find her on any shipping records. I don't know if she came on her own or with any family.

Searching on the Victorian BMD Index, I have not found her parents or any siblings. So I presume she came on her own - perhaps an orphan of the Famine. 

As you can see from Lazarus post - her parents were Patrick Carmody (Farmer) and Elizabeth Boland.  I know nothing further of her parents, siblings or others - unfortunately.
 
I have almost given up any hope of tracing my Carmody line back into Ireland.

Would appreciate any help you are able to give me.
 
What records are available for Kilmaley?.


EDIT - Thanks Lazarus - I must have been trying to post the same time as you. LOL.

Judith - No I haven't checked those two (at least I don't think so) - where can I find them - what ships?.
Kind Regards

Hi
Search the index for Victorian assisted immigration records.  One of the 1844 people is aged 44 so I guess it is not likely her.  I just used Carmody Mary for the search, left out 'Ann'.
