Patrick O'Farrell and Mary Silver

I am looking for information about my Great Great Grandparents. Patrick O'Farrell and Mary Silver. I believe they married in 1841. They had 8 children before Patrick immigrated to Victoria Australia. I believe they both came from County Clare but I have also been told they were from Tipperary. I know that Patrick left Mary and the children in Ireland for a number of years before he was able to bring them out to Australia where they had one more child, a son, Daniel who was my Great Grandfather. Thanks Mairead

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

I found one lead for you. The subscription site Roots Ireland has an 1852 baptismal record for a Mary Farrell with father Patrick and mother Mary Silver. Roots has Ennis baptismal records back to 1841 so the family must have been in a different area before 1852.
