THOMAS Family of Grange, Co Kildare

[Doelcam]

I am looking for details on Mr Joseph THOMAS (maybe known as Jac) of Grange, Co Kildare. He married Sarah FRANKFORT (unusual name for that part of the world). A child Elizabeth Thomas (c1835/40 - 1914) was born to them at Grange (could this be Grangerosnolvan ). Elizabeth, aged 21 years, emigrated to Australia. She left Plymouth on the 5 March 1860 and sailed on the “Atalanta” a journey of 86 days, arriving in Melbourne on 30 May 1860.
Joseph and Sarah Thomas died in Ireland. I do know that Joseph Thomas was a carpenter, but no details as to place of birth or death.
Does anyone have any thoughts?

An Elizabeth Thomas was baptised in 1834 in Carbury COI Church, Kildare, Ireland. Parents Joseph & Sarah Thomas.

It says on her ships records 'nationality - Scottish and Irish' and with the fact that Thomas & Frankfort are rare names in Kildare your net may need to be thrown a bit wider.

Irish Civil Register only began in 1864, but there are Thomas of Kldare recorded.

Don't see any reason why it should be Grangerosnolvan, if it just says Grange.
