Hello Liz, I have just joined this site and noticed your Message. My interest is Michael Sheedy who arrived in Australia aboard the Lascar in 1841. He was born C1810 in Galbally Aherlow to Michael Sheedy and Margaret nee Walsh/Welsh. He named one of his children John and another Honora. Just wondering if there is a connection between these families. I have been unable to find any other information regarding the Irish born ancestors of these people. These Sheedy's settled in the Canberra/Queanbeyan area of Australia. Cheers Katherine Bishop
