I am seeking information on MaryJoyce born to Patrick and Mary Joyce in 1833, possibly in May. Mary Joyce emigrated to the United States in 1848 either by herself or with Abbey Joyce (age 11 or 17-unreadable in handwritten list of ship passengers). I don't have the birth years for her parents, Patrick or Mary, or the maiden name of Mary. They may have lived in Galway. Mary married in the United States in 1853 to John Bulger who emigrated in 1852 from Wexford or Carlow. I know this is very limited information but I hope someone may know something.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
I located this record on Roots Ireland. Not in May but late April 1833. Castlegar is very close to Galway city. However, I searched for her sister Abbey and did not find a record for her.
As you likely know, Joyce is a very common surname in Co. Galway.
