Can someone please lookup any records on convict trials in Ireland in 1850
I know my gt gt grandmother, Catherine Murphy was tried in 1851 and transported to Australia in 1852 from Dublin. The problem is which Catherine Murphy ? I need to know the parents of the Catherines that were tried so I can trace mine. I have an Australian death cert. which gives parents of a Catherine as John Murphy and Mary Murphy nee Doyle. My Catherine would have been b.c. 1825 according to the marriage record in Tasmania ,Australia. Thank you.

Thank you for reply slizzy. I have found that site very good . I have never seen so many convicts with the same name. I seem to have a lot of the most common names in my tree which makes things difficult but interesting.
