My GG grandfather was born at six-mile- bridge. The only details I have his name was Patrick Kelly, married Ann O'Gorman from Limerick and migrated to Adelaide Australia in 1840 on board the ship Birman. Have no idea the name of his parents. He had a sister Ellen who travelled with him along with a son and baby daughter also named Ellen. The son died on the journey. His brother Thomas followed a couple of years later. I was trying to find the Parish to see if there were any birth records etc. Thank you

Hi LaineeK
How old was Patrick Kelly ot his sister Ellen when he arrived in Australia?
Also the ship Thomas traveled on and his age?
They may not have his birth, but you may find the marriage if it was in S.M.B. and Ellen's birth (the Baby)
This is the map for the parish Church books for Baptism's. Look for County Clare, then Sixmilebridge.
Catholic Parish Registers at the NLI
This area comes under the Diocese of Killaloe. There is also a place called Killaloe.
Cratloe have records from 1802. try there.
Mary O'Gorman, from Limerick, Limerick City or somewhere in the County, bit harder to find.
The ship record. The child that died at sea do you have their name?
