This is the same family as my last thread but the in-laws.
Deborah Brosnahan (according to her) but usually Brosnan on PRs married Patrick Bowler (sometimes referred to as John). He called himself Patrick John Bowler. They marry about 1848 probably in Firies Kerry. Fist son, John baptised Firies 1849. Another son, Patrick (my great grandfather) baptised 1852.
Sometime, Patrick and John go to New Zealand. Both marry in NZ.
Another child of Pat and Deb, Mary Bowler marries Michael Hussey in Kerry, so the Bowlers didn't all go to NZ as a family.
I cannot find Patrick or Deborah Bowler after the baptisms of their children, however I have a photo of Deborah taken in Tasmania. She looks to be getting old and the clothes suggest late 1800s so she would be about 80 years old.
I cannot find her coming into Australia or leaving or dying here. She had a sister-in-law, Margaret Bowler who came from NZ to Tasmania and joined Mary McKillop's order of St Joseph nuns.
Did Deborah go to NZ? Was her husband still alive? Where did she die?
