I know where she went, but where did she come from?

Mary Alicia O'Connor, was born 1829, Baptized in Tipperary Mar. 4
1829.
Sponsors at Baptism were: John O'Sullivan and Cath. Leonard
Father William O'Connor
Mother Mary O'Brien


It is my guess she left Ireland during the Famine (1845-1849) after
the death of her parents and went to Rio de Janeiro. Another assumption
is that someone in her family was connect to shipping.
I also have this document? It is my only link to this part of my
family's past. This was taken from the original handwritten document
made in 1848.
