My great great grandfather was Patrick Reilly born abt 1810/13 Westmeath Ireland.
He was sent out to Tasmania as a convict aboard the Hydrabad in 1849 (sentenced in Westmeath)
His convict records say he is widowed and his three children are living with his mother Elizabeth.
So I have looked on Roots Ireland and the only Patrick Reilly (or Riley) born with a mother ELizabeth born between 1803 and 1820 is the following.
Patrick Reilly born 23-3-1815
Adress.. Killua
Parish..Clonmellon
Co..Westmeath
Father....Patrick Reilly.....occupation unknown
Mother ....Elizabeth Brannigan
Informant.....Bridget Mangan
According to his convict record he had 3 brothers.....William, Thomas and one I can't read.......3 sisters....Mary, Bridget and one I can;t read.
I can not find the marriage of Elizabeth Brannigan to Patrick Reilly.......or the birth of any of his brothers and sisters.
Any suggestion on how and where to look would be appreciated.
