It came to my notice a few weeks ago that during the 1830s approx 3,000 Irish females emigrated here. There is little info in the way of any indexing been done . And if anything appeared to be hidden away The lady I tripped over came on a ship called James Pattison in 1836 . I found this ships name in the convict marriage banns so lucky for me she married a convict and not a free settler ! Have gathered some other info but have been busy with other things due to the time of the year and havent had chance to follow this up The Parramatta FHG has recently published a Pionners register. Perhaps some ref to this family in that ? I went to Parrmatta Library a few months ago looking for ' putting flesh on the bones' type info for early Parramatta settlers . Little to be found there. One twig in one of my husbands families lived in Sorrel Street North Parramatta in the 1830's . Wasnt able to find out any more. This fellow was a stone mason , but no idea what stone he masoned ! ) Bye Marg Morters Central Coast Family History Society GOSFORD NSW Australia ______________________________
