Looking for Keane Family in Castlebar ,Mayo Ireland.Richmond Prison and Tasmania
I am looking for information about Catherine Keane (born 1832) who was transported to Tasmania in 1849 for sheep stealing.
Her brother Michael was also convicted at the same time but died in Richmond Prison August 1850.
Catherine went on to marry John Smith also a convict, they settled at Longford Tasmania and raised 9 children, Catherine died aged 93.

Hi! Catherine Keane was my third great grandmother on my mother’s father’s side of the family. You can google her name and it will provide many details of her early and later life.regards, Chris
Thank you Chris, we must be related
Catherine had a son Henry who marries Emma Amelia Harris, they had a daughter Clara who married Percival Logan and my mother Patricia Mary was 1 of their daughters.
I will have a google and see what I find, any particular site best....
Cheers, Kaye
