Michael Farrell born circa 1805
CorkBandon (Cork)
Hello,
My 4x great grandfather was Michael Farrell. He was apparently born in Bandon, Cork in 1805. He emigrated to Sydney, NSW, Australia as a free settler on the ship Mariner in 1827 as a carpenter & joiner. I don't know his parents names, but they were apparently alive at the time of his emigration according to court records (yes he had a colourful life being convicted for receiving and selling stolen property - a murder took place when the items were stolen). He married Catherine Ahern in Sydney in 1833.
I haven't been able to discover anything else about his life in Ireland before emigrating.
