According to Mahoonagh parish records Bridget McCarthy married Michael Scanlan Feb 21st 1854
The couple lived in Killeedy (Killeedy North) raising a family.
Michael Maria Helen Margaret Tim & Patrick.
We think family fell on hard times and forced to emigrate
but after 1863 the emigrated to NSW Australia..
I matched with
Patrick's grandson in Sydney
Any info about either Michael Scanlan or Bridget McC would be great.
Did whole family go?
we know Tim & Patrick did... we think parents did also..
any info would be great
kind regards Pat Scanlan

Hi Pat
The Australian Immigtation records on Trove would be the best place to get the info on their journey.
Maybe a search of the civil records might help https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/civil-search.jsp
