Welcome to RootsChat, Dancer1  :)

Parents' marriage looks to have been c. 1843 (from some documents relating to a daughter,  Honora).

Children I can see so far are:

James 1846 Clashmore, Clare and died 3 Aug 1930 Clashmore, Clare. Married a Margaret Boland in 1886 https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1886/10845/5959635.pdf

Honora born c. 1847. Her marriage to John Powell in 1869 here https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1869/11413/8191943.pdf Death  Her death 1935 in Scarriff, Clare.

Patrick born c. 1859. His death in 1881 https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1881/06436/4849279.pdf

Son Denis reported his father's death in 1883 https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1883/06359/4824659.pdf He also reported on his mother's death the following year https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1884/06312/4810088.pdf

Do you know who Mary Conway married? There is this possible 1865 marriage for her to a Thomas McGrath https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1865/11566/8255106.pdf

Thank you Monica and Lyn, much appreciated. Female passenger list for "La Hogue" arrived in Sydney from the UK on 16 September 1879 lists Mary (31) and Margaret (23) Conway - parents Patrick and Margaret Conway, both could read and write. There is absolutely nothing about Mary in Oz records, despite NSW State Librarians research, however they found numerous "Mary Conway's" listed but none give any lead. Unsure if shipping records are correct and if this Mary Conway is related to Patrick and Margaret, proving quite a mystery. Thanks again.
