LYNCHEY FAMILY-COUNTY DOWN ISLE of MAN-AUSTRALIA

Classification: Query
I have been searching for the children, husband and forebears of Sarah LYNCHEY.
Born Sarah MULLAN or similar in County Down C 1785 and married to probably Michael or James LYNCHEY (or similar).
By the 1820's she was on the Isle of Man and in 1833, a widow, she was tried and convicted at Castle Rudshen, along with a son Thomas, and sentenced to transportation to New South Wales.
Sarah brought 2 daughters and a son with her but the copies of the request and approval to the British authorities does not indicate their names, neither does the Indent of Convicts arriving on the Mary III in 1835.
One daughter was Mary Ann LYNCHEY, my GG grandmother, I have only hints as to the names of the other daughter and the son, Sarah & James.
Sarah, the convict, may have been widowed during a cholera outbreak on the IoM in 1832, also losing a son William.
In the second half of the 1700's and through the 1800's there were both LYNCHEY (many spellings) families and MULLAN (again many spellins) families living near Portaferr in Down.
There was at least 1 Michael LYNCHEY recorded in 1820 and a James LYNCHEY with considerable debts around the same time.
Can anyone out there help please.
