Hi Maizy I think you meant that he arrived on the Elphinstone (3) to Port Jackson in 1838. There was no such transport called the "Irish Gift" - that term applies to the records gifted to Australia from the National Archives of Ireland regards Lesley Uebel mailto:ckennedy@bigpond.net.au CLAIM A CONVICT http://users.bigpond.net.au/convicts/index.html -----Original Message----- From: aus-convicts-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-convicts-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of chrissy Sent: Friday, November 14, 2008 9:54 AM To: aus-convicts@rootsweb.com Subject: [AUS-CON] DOWLING I ahve found a record of a Michael Dowling entering NSW as a convict 1838 onboard the Irish Gift from Cork.
