Searching details for my 3rd Great Grandmother. Immigration records to Australia in 1855 aboard the 'Matoaka' show she travelled with her husband Edward (aka Edmund) Burke and children. It states she was from Ballyhay, Clare but possibly Cork. The family appear to have lived in Quin, Clare before moving to Australia.
