I have started writing up sections of her life in my blog and discovered another descendant is also on Live Ireland. One day I will come to Dublin and have a Guinness in her memory which will be fitting as her only offence once in Tasmania was for getting drunk.

Comment by Katy Ford on March 12, 2010 at 13:46: Hi David, Dublin City is amazing and if you like photography/history/heritage truly you will have a great time..plus they do a grand Guinness. The photo of Cobh and the Harbour again is a place filled with history, and more than likely your g,g grandmother would have spent time in Cobh then she would have sailed with others from the very Harbour.
Its a shame that so many had been transported for small things, chances are she needed the shawl to keep warm....cheers Katy
