Hi, Robin in Adelaide,
Alas, I have not been watching this site very well and I can only apologise for very slow response.
My Bridget Torpy nee Goode was the daughter of Peter and Mary Goode from Ballinakill, Galway. Bridget married a Matthew Torpey who died before 1850 when she migrated with 3 of her children to NSW. The remaining three of her children came out in 1853.
As you can guess, I have very little info about Bridget or her family in Ireland other than she had a brother Martin Goode in Rossmore, Galway. Three of the latter's sons came out with Bridget to NSW.
Regards,
Don in Brisbane - gx3grandson of Bridget Torpy nee Goode
