Catherine Mary Byrne, Convict "Rolla" 1803 is on Geni with
* born 1773
* died 1830
married Patrick Byrne, Convict "Rolla" 1803
* 1795 Margaret Byrne
* 1805 Patrick Byrne died 1868
* 1805 John Byrne

Queries
1) How can Catherine and Patrick who married in Australia be the parents of Margaret born 8 years before they met
2) It seems unlikely that they had twins and called on John and the other Patrick John

Can anyone provide any information on this family?

Patrick married Catherine POWER in July 1803 no children
Patrick married Eleanor DUNN on 5/8/1816 and had son James in 1819

Patrick Byrne born 1807 in Windsor, married Jane Upton and had 13 children and died 11th May 1868.
His death certificate (NSWBD&M No 7003/1868) states his parents were Patrick Byrne and Catherine ?.
There were two children born to this relationship, John about 1805 and Patrick about 1807. This contradicts the statement that no children could be found.
