Searching for info on my gr gr-grparents, Francis O’Brien & Catherine Murphy.  Cannot find info on any passenger lists, but they came from County Wexford, Ireland, around 1855; accompanied by her mother, Muddy Murphy, her sister & brother-in-law, Anne Murphy & Michael Kenny.  In the 1861 Census they are listed on Abbott Street in B;ville.  They died ca 1865, buried in the Catholic Cemetery in B’ville.  Apparently a flat tombstone had their names on it.  Would be most grateful for any assistance.
