Edward Woods and Mary Fisher from County Tipperary

[bkr188]

Edward Woods and Mary nee Fisher arrived in Sydney aboard the "Glenswilly" as Bounty Immigrants on 11th March 1841.  The ships manifest says they are farm servants from Cashel, might be Cashill.  Edwards parents were Edward and Winnifred Woods and Marys parents George and Mary Fisher.  Neither surnames seems very Irish.  A cousin tried to find information on these people, no luck.  They did state their religion was RC, they were illiterate and in good health and were brought to the colony by Ships Agent John Marshall.  I am wondering if anyone knows if records are available in the Cashel area for 1810 - 1841 which might have these names listed.  Thank you bkr188

 :)Wow. This is fabulous. Thank you. Edward and Mary have many descendants in Australia, particularly near Canberra where they finally settled.  I am more than happy to share this information to those interested. 
Your information is the first authenticated Irish evidence I have of this family. My cousin, who first delved into our family's past, came across a record from Cashel for a baptism of a Mary Fisher, daughter of George and Mary Fisher (nee Kennedy) dated 2 April 1815.  The Glenswilly information has her age as 28 years which indicates she would have been born 1813.  The evidence to link her to this record is that the ship document her parents names as George and Mary.  Edward and Mary named their firstborn George Edward (the other children being Edward, Thomas and William.)

  Would it have been usual in Ireland for a baptism to be conducted 2 years after the child was born?  Once again thank you for a start to my Irish search.
