Hi Richard,
I have a William Ahern who was born 1788 in Capewell, Cork, Ireland who married Julia McCarthy in 1812 in Cork.Both were caught stealing on separate occasions and given 7 years and sent to Sydney, Australia in 1823.
They had the following children: Catherine b 1814 Cork, Ellen b 1816 Cork, Julia b 1818 Cork, Mary Anne b 1825 Sydney, Elizabeth b 1827 Sydney and Johanna b 1830 Sydney.
Some of the first names seem to be similar.Have you had any luck with your ancestors in Ireland?
