Searching for information about Bridget Morrissey

Galway

I am searching for information about my Great great grandparents Patrick Kierce and Bridget Morrissey and my great great great grandparents Michael Morrissey and Ellen Kenny.

Patrick and Bridget were married in Gort co. Galway in c1855. Patrick came from County Clare. Bridget was born in Gort district (?) Galway. Her father was Michael and her mother was Ellen Kenny both born in Galway but no other information is available.

Patrick and Bridget emigrated to Australia. They saied on the Fitzjames which arrived in Adelaide Australia on 31st Dec 1855. In 1869 they left Adelaide for Eltham Victoria with their 6 children John, Ellen, Michael, Thomas and Catherine. Patrick's younger brothers, John and Thomas Kierce travelled with them.
