Hi
I am looking for information on the Goode / Good family in Co. Galway in the early 1800s.
My ancestor Bridget Goode (born ca. 1808-1816) married a Mathew Torpy / Torpey in Ballinakill Co. Galway about 1829, and they had six children before he died. She was a Catholic.
In 1850 Bridget and 3 of her children emigrated to Australia (NSW) as assisted immigrants on the "Lloyds" in 1850 (her other three children arriving 3 years later in 1853). On her shipping records, her parents are listed as Peter and Mary Goode, both deceased, and her native place being Ballinakill, Co. Galway. She had a brother Martin Goode who I think remained in Co. Galway.
She married a Thomas Ford in Goulburn NSW in 1853.
