Thomas and Bridget Jennings ( nee Conroy ) lived in or around Monivea
Their son Jeremiah was born in 1860, followed by John then William. Came to Australia on the ship Sirocco. Arrived in Sydney in 1864.
Most settled in Newcastle NSW. Thomas had a sister living in Newcastle NSW. Her name was Bridget Margaret Jennings, she was married to Joseph Tiernan

Welcome to reland Reaching Out!
The RC parish for Monivea civil parish would be Abbeyknockmoy. Records for Abbeyknockmoy start in 1821 and are available on the subscription site Roots Ireland. However, when I searched for baptismal records for the three sons using the parents names you provided, no records came up. I also did not find the marriage record for Thomas Jennings and Bridget Conroy. I also did not find a marriage record for Bridget Jennings and Joseph Tiernan.
The RC parish just to the north of Abbeyknockmoy is Killererin. That parish does not have baptismal records until 1870 so I'm wondering if your Jennings family was from that area.
Any other information on siblings of Thomas or Bridget who may have stayed in Ireland?
