Clonmel Co. Waterford

I believe these are baptisms for children of James Good and Mary Anne Saunders – note Clonmel union of parishes includes areas in Cork, Tipperary, Waterford, Kilkenny & Limerick.

1840 Susanna – matches YOB as per arrival in Tas, Father James & Mother Mary Anne

1845 Matilda – matches YOB as per arrival, parents James and Mary Anne and additional notes includes -

LAND STEWARD - which was James’ occupation.

1842 George – another child likely died before immigration – same place, same parents and YOB fits in with the family being in the area for years between 1840-1845.
