Thanks everyone Its the right Catherine Kearney that everyone found and yes charles ns Catherine had those children. On death certificate it says born in Hobart but the one that came out in 1823 is the right age. I will try to track where she went to work here. Charles Alford work from Willis Corner ( now conara ) Itsmewhere to look. Again a big thank you everyone
