I am looking for information about the family of my great grandmother Mary Hayes who came to Australia in the late 1850s. I know her father was Thomas and her mother Margaret (nee Madden). I know they came from County Limerick but I do not know where from. I have not found any baptism records for her known siblings. I have found a record for John Hayes in the Cappamore parish records, son of Thomas Hayes and Margaret Maddin but I have no knowledge that they had a son named John. He was born in 1849 and I know that the youngest of the known siblings were twins born in 1848. Margaret Madden is supposed to have had a brother who was a Catholic priest but I only know him as Father Madden. Mary was born abt 1838 and her known siblings were Bridget, Honorah, Timothy, Margaret and Johanna. There might also have been a Thomas. All the children migrated to Australia in the late 1850s to early 1860s. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
