My Great Grand mother, Bridgette Carew, left Ireland for Australia in about 1883. She is said to have left with her father Thomas Carew. They apparently hailed from Newtown. I will be travelling to Ireland in July 2014 and was looking for any available information on this side of the Carew family.

Hi again John
There are 7 birth / baptism records of Bridget Carew with father Thomas Carew born in Tipperary on www.rootsireland.ie/ : 1824, 25, 27, 71, 83, 86 & 86
I assume she would have been a child but not an infant when she travelled in 1883 so would guess at the 1871. There is a list of parishes at the end of each record on rootsireland; you can go through these 1 by 1 for each record until you get the right one but it's a slow process - it's easier to purchase credit and pay for a few wrong records. I tried Dorrha which was in the list but it was Church of Irelnad and didn't give a match.

Dear Col thank you so much for taking the trouble to pass on that information it is very much appreciated.
Kind regards
