Mary Hill and her younger sister, Biddy arrived in Hobart, Tasmania as bounty immigrants on 16 Sept., 1854, aboard the "Maitland".  They were from Tipperary, Ireland.  Mary was 20yrs. old, Biddy 18yrs.  They were accompanied on the voyage by their cousins, Mary and Catherine Slattery.

I am trying to trace their parents.  Any information about their life in Ireland would be most welcome.  Mary may have been my great-great-grandmother.

With thanks,
Mary.

Hi Mary,
Did Mary and Biddy have a sister called Ann and a brother called John?
I see an Ann went to Australia in 1862 fare paid for by Mary Hill.
John went in 1863, fare paid for by Ann.
Let me know please.

Hi and welcome to Rootschat  :D

As you would be looking for church records you need to mention that the HILL and SLATTERY sisters were stated as being Roman Catholic.

Of Mary HILL, arrived "Maitland" 1854, Hobart, with sister Bridget, from Tipperary -

".. Mary may have been my great-great-grandmother".

When you find parents for Mary HILL, you will have names for couple who.....might..... be your great great great grandparents.

You are researching the origins of .......who?

Who is your great grandparent......the ancestor whose origins you are researching, and possibly the child of Mary HILL?

Ok,
John and Ann Hill's parents were Valentine and Bridget.
Ann's passage was paid for by Mary Hill.
States Hill's were from Thurles.
Catherine and Mary Slattery's parents were William and Mary.
Brother and sister.....Thomas and Catherine already in Australia.
Slattery's from Clonmel.
May be yours.
