My 3 x great Grandmother was Bridget Tahaney born 1827. She was convicted in Leitrim and transported to Tasmania (Australia) as a convict in 1848 and married John Gibson in 1849. I have searched the records on the Irish Family History Foundation and found a Bridget Tahaney christened in the Parish of Ahamlish, Co. Sligo to parents Martin and Honora. Could there be a link there somewhere?...or has anyone got any further info?
