Deidre I haven't come across of any resource publication similar to the Donegal Relief Fund. I do know that in Thurles County Library they have a list of those who were assisted passengers to Australia 1849-61. But it is not avaliable online - you could try e-mailing them and they might do alook-up.The compiler was a Richard Reid and you may know that he co-authored a book on immigration to Australia. REID, RICHARD + MONGAN, CHERYL *'A decent set of girls…': the Irish Famine orphans of the Thomas Arbuthnot'* 1849-1850 (Yass, NSW 1996).

I doubt if there are any records of the temporary workhouse in Toomevara and the nearest workhouse would have been in Nenagh. There are some records of the Nenagh Poor Law Union (that administered the workhouse) in Thurles Library but I don't think there are any registers of those admitted.

Hello Clare, Thankyou for your knowledge, you have helped me a lot in the past few days. You may have guessed it's my first Irish research. I'll email Thurles Co Library to see if they can help with assisted passengers to Australia & see our library for Richard Reid's & purchase Helen O'Brien's book. This is great help Clare, lots to keep me going, I have been floundering around. Kind Regards, from Deirdre I haven't come across of any resource publication similar to the Donegal Relief Fund.
