Deported as a convict

WHILE researching my family tree I have just discovered an Irish ancestor. Her name was Catharine Barry, my great-great-great-great grandmother.

Deported as a convict

Sat, 07 Jan, 2006 - 00:00

Catherine was deported as a convict to Australia in 1830 on a ship called Asia.

The convict record states she was born in 1800 in Tipperary. She was tried in Cork in 1829 and sentenced to seven years for ‘robbery of lodgings.’
