Thank you so much for your help.  I have followed the three children in Australia and was working back to Ireland.
I am doing my own research with some help from others.
Thank you again for your help

Thank you, thank you the information on Mary, Terence, and Catherine.  Terence came to Australia on Smyma in 1883 but I could not find any information on death etc.  so he must have gone back home to Ireland.
I cannot thank you enough thank you for your time and effort

You have James baptised 1864.
There is a death in 1865 for a 1yr old James but details are not yet available.
It might be your James.
