My 2xGreatgrandmother Catherine Kennedy of Templemore was sent to Australia aged 14 on the Irish Girls Orphan Ship "The Pemberton" in 1849.
Her parents were William Kennedy and Margaret Star(r) and lived in Goal (Bank) Street templemore in the townland of Forest.
Catherine had three younger siblings born in Templemore
Patrick Kennedy Bap 18th July Sponsors James Shelley and Margaret Meara
John Kennedy Bap 24th Aug 1839 Sponsors Michael Dunn and Johanna Dunn
Margaret Kennedy Bap 3rd July 1842 Sponsors John Shelley and Judith Kennedy
Catherine's mother Margaret Starr Kennedy was born in Nenagh in 1809 to William Starr and Margaret Ryan.
Does anyone have any connection to this family. I would dearly love to find out more
Thank you
