Gorman in co. Tipperary

Hi

My antecedent James Gorman 1807-5/1/1885 arrived in New South Wales on the SS Blenheim in 1834. He wastried in Tipperary,and, convicted of grievous assault.

I am reasonably certain as to the birth year as his age is stated on his transportation records and death certificate. The family story is that we are from County Clare, but James committed his crime in Moyne and was tried at Tipperary. It is reported in theClonmel Herald Wednesday 19 March 1834. He seems to have been an itinerant labourer at the time of the crime.

I have checked the Irish Times website for where surnames occur and have found searching the online birth records to be inconclusive, so need to narrow down a location. I am also aware that Tipperary was acommon point of departure for Irish convicts.

I would be grateful for any pointers as to which parish he would be from.

regards, Mary
