Re: Mary Higgins
Try the Clare Journal newspaper for around the time of the trial.

Re: Mary Higgins
Thank you but I had no luck
Re: Mary Higgins
Sometimes you get reports from Clare in the Limerick newspapers, also sometimes in the Galway papers or Waterford or Tipperary.
Re: Mary Higgins
If she was, in fact transported, it could have been to either NSW or VDL (Tasmania), given the period. You can try a search at the following sites:

Re: Mary Higgins
If you found her trial report it probably would just say her name. Try the inchiquin papers and see if you can find her father as a tenant. They are in the NLI . Often people rented farms and then sublet - their tenants wont be there nor would those who worked on other farms but if they lived in sixmilebridge itself you may find them. http://www.nli.ie/pdfs/mss%20lists/143_Inchiquin.pdf
There is a Michael, Denis and John living around Lounga in 1820 might be the same family
Maybe not but it these three lived in the same townland chances are they are brothers or uncles and nephews or father and sons
