I realise this message is quite old, however whilst trying to sort our some research for a John Macormack in Australia, came across Philip Connick as a convict. He arrived in Sydney onboard Convict Ship Boyne 28 October 1826. Says he was convicted in Wexford in March 1826 for Housebreaking. Age 19 years. There is also a marriage record on New South Wales BDm with Susan Jackson V183417 129/1834 Connick Philip : Jackson, Susan: LD (St Mary's Church Sydney). Newspaper Article Sydney Herald 8 April 1834 Pg 4 says he received a Certificate of Freedom. Hope this helps. Kind regards.
