James & Honora Taylor Hickey, Potato Famine, who left 5 children homeless

 I was looking for info on my Great Great Grandparents, James and Honora Taylor Hickey from County Clare, maybe in Ennis, who died in the Potato Famine and left five children homeless. My great grandfather, Thomas Hickey, was six years old at the time. He and his 13-year old brother, John, went to Scotland to tend sheep making $25.00. I am not sure if that was monthly or not. I was trying to find out who helped them and where the girls went and who took care of them? Margaret was 3 and Catherine was a baby, maybe 1 or 2 years old. Also, I would like to find James & Honora's parents and siblings.
