Dungarvan Workhouse Orphan girls to Australia

This is an article which I researched and wrote a few years back. Hope it will be of interest.

 

Sorry I'm a bit slow tonight Eddie,where can i find the article?

 

Sorry, having trouble posting it!...I think that it is probably too big....must check it!

 

Thanks, it is not online, but I can post it online and then post the link. Thanks, that sounds better!

Sorry Eddie. I thought it would be less complicated, but everything techie is complicated to me

Thanks for that Eddie. Such sad reading actually. It's so hard to imagine how our families managed to survive sometimes.

I immediately thought of your work Jane, when Eddie sent me this. There are comparisons.

 

Thanks again Eddie. It gives others a foresight into their sad lives and I'm so sorry for the way that some of them were treated.
Have you found all your girls Eddie?

 

Thankyou Eddie, what a great read,look forward to more when the time comes. My 3 x Great Grandfather and his brothers emigrated from Ireland in the 1852,although not having it as tough as the girls, they too endured a difficult time in Australia

 

God No! I placed notice in several Australian newspapers, but they are slow to come, I did get some from various parts of Ireland, but I really cannot get bogged down with other parts of the country. There are a few more Australian/Dungarvan articles on the Blog!

 

Here we are. Ready willing and able
