If I identified the correct family, they also had two brothers- Thomas 1833 and William 1837.
Kilcolman, Limerick - Catholic Parish Registers at the NLI
The sisters came to Australia in 1854. Record from Ancestry. Anastatia and Ellen were picked up by their cousin Dan O'Brien.

Wow . I think we are on the same path.Anastasia married my late husbands G Grandfather! Edmond ( Edmund Walsh) . His daughter Mary Ann (Mortimer) Walsh was my husband’s Grandmother…whose son Francis Paul Hale for some reason chose to take his mothers maiden name Walsh nut added an e ie Walshe
with thanks annicew@gmail.com.
Oops Mary Ann ( Mortimer ) Walsh was mother of Francis Paul Hale (Walshe by choice ) therefore Grandmother of Francis James Walshe and Gerald Ian Walshe ( both deceased) . I don’t know if they ever met her as she and hubby appear to have separated . If you are interested in following this up because of family connections please contact me .
Hi,
I am a volunteer and have no connection to your family. Good luck with your research.
Regards- Mary
