Hi
I am doing research and have hit a brick wall concerning my great grandmother.She was Mary Bridget McCarthy born 4/2/1863 in Dungarvan Waterford Co Ireland.She was sent out to Australia to enter All Hallows in Brisbane to join the Sisters of Mercy Congregation, accompanied by
her Aunt a Sister Julius. We think she arrived in 1886 but she married a Robert Kaye. Marriage certificate states they were both 21 years old, his parents John Kaye and Agnes Turnbull, her parents Michael McCarthy and Bridget Power. Robert was born in Dunedin Otago New Zealand. Story goes they met on the boat but I can not find any records.Mary had her first child in 1887 to my great grandfather George Fielder and then another four children but did not marry him till 1899. Cannot find any death certificate for Robert Kaye, story goes he was killed 1886 or 1887. Cannot find any records for her entry into All Hallows either. I would love to find out the ship she came on and if there was a Robert Kaye on the same ship
Thanking you
Sherrie
