Hi Brenny,
They may have been sentenced at Rathkeale and not be from there, which is a problem trying to find them.
I checked the tithe records (1823 to 1837) for any Andrew Kennedy (the father) and none listed in County Limerick.
Griffiths Valuation has............an Andrew Kennedy in a place called Kilkeedy which is north east of Rathkeale.
Griffith's Valuation (askaboutireland.ie)
I looked in that are for the births and the records are very faint.
Another helper on her would search the rootsireland site for you.
I checked the other sites I use but birth don't appear, sorry.
Deaths were not listed until 1864 when the Civil Records were introduced.

The only other results ...................
James Kennedy trial in 1848........the ship went to Tasmania in August 1849.
Catherine arrived 7th October 1848
I will look again.

Hi Margot ,

Thanks for the information and help.

Would there be any information on the person charging them a Elinor Donoghue apparentley her cow that they stole?

Maybe this may lead to an area.

Thanks again for your help.

Kind regards

Hi Brenny, I didn't say she married a Bamber guy.
