Tipperary - Request Research Tip

Hi,

One of my great-grandmothers, Catherine Fallon (23-Mar-1861 - 3-Dec-1924), is a brick wall. A first cousin of mine lists Catherine's father as Martin Fallon (Abt. 1802 - 26-Feb-1862) in Ballinasloe, Galway, Ireland). On Ancestry.com, the hints that come up are for a Martin Fallon who was convicted in a trial held in Tipperary on 31-Mar-1827. This man was born in 1802 in Galway and was sent to New South Wales, Australia aboard the Eliza for stealing bank notes and spent seven years there before being granted freedom. I have no idea if this Martin Fallon is the father of my great-grandmother, Catherine. I would like to find out more about this Martin. Is there a way for one to gain access to a trial transcript from 1827? Would it have been in a local newspaper? I'm not sure how to proceed.

Thank you and God bless!

Jp,

A check for a Martin Fallon in 1827 did not show any result. Very few papers were being publshed in that time period and those that were

are unlikely to have survived. The Freeman's Journal which covered the Country in the 1820's did not show any result

I attach details of conviction and certificate of freedom. You probably have them already.

On the ship Eliza there is also a Patrick Fallon who is from Galway. Could they be related?
