My great grandmother Bridget Norris was born in Lowe’s Town, Galbally, Co. Limerick in 1858.  Her parents Michael Norris, 1811 - 1891 and Mary Fitzgibbon 1814 – 1866, were married in the Parish of Knocklong & Glenbrohane on the 31st January 1840. Bridget Norris, applied for an assisted passage to New South Wales as a 19 year old. She embarked on the Blair Athole from Plymouth on 27 November 1878, shortly after her 20th birthday.  I am visiting Galbally on 24 December from Australia and would like to make contact with a member of Ireland XO Parish Liasion team with local knowledge.
