Cavan

In 1821 Grace was sentenced at County Cavan Summer Assizes to 7 years transportation for house robbery.aged 23.

She was at Kilmainham Prison, Dublin, in 1822 aged 25

15 June 1823 she arrived in Sydney aboard "Woodman". She was ill and taken straight to Sydney Hospital.

I have her history here in Australia but would like to know more of her Irish life

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I searched on the subscription site Roots Ireland and did not locate a Grace Keenan baptismal record around 1798. Very few Roman Cathoparishes have records back to the late 1700s.

You may want to add Grace's story to our XO Chronicles site. Possibly someone will see a connection. https://irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/history-and-genealogy/ancestor-database
