I wonder if there is also a Welsh connection here?
I came recently across a reference to a Swansea man who ran foul of the Poor Law authorities for not maintaining his family and who was a sailor on the Kangaroo (late 1840s this time).
Given that some versions reference Milford Bay and the known connections between South Wales and Cork, are there any takers for this theory?
