My Great grandmother has always been a bit of a mystery. I think she was born in Roscrea in 1846. Mother - Mary Kennedy. Father - Michael Conway. There may have been a connection to the Sacre Coeur Convent in Roscrea. I'm reasonably sure that Margret sailed to Australia in 1865 on the "Maryborough". She married my g grandfather, James McMahon in 1867 in Brisbane. They had 11 children . Margaret ran a successful bakery & died in 1918. She named her home " Templemore".
