Trying to find information about my gg grandmother Anastasia Wyse/Wise from Waterford Ireland, born c1830, came to Tasmania 1853/4 as an illiterate housemaid, name on passenger list Anty Wyse. Married Edwin Hooper, later Edwin Dix, in 1854 and died in Launceston 1860.
Any information about birth, parents, siblings very much appreciated. Unable to find any information about her at all.

Many thanks for replying Gins, yes have marriage certificate but no mention of parents names or even where she is from. The only information on the certificate is her name and Edwin's name, their ages and their status as single. I don't know whether this is because she was marrying a convict, they had to apply for permission to marry...

Nothing on the Irish Records?
Is there anywhere else that I could try and find information about her?
Because she was illiterate, I cannot be sure if the name she provided on the passenger list (Anty Wyse) is correct..

Yes, had noted these MarieCeleste, thanks for replying.
Can anyone think of any other variations of the Wyse/Wise surname possibilities which could be clues for her name?
