The one thing I would say, having checked the image above is that it does NOT say "last resident Ireland", it says "Last Legal Settlement Ireland". Notice also at the top, it says,"An Act for the Relief ... of the Poor". Now, I've no understanding at all of the Poor Law in Pennsylvania, but if it's anything like that in the UK, the place of settlement was where you got sent back to if you fell on hard times because they weren't paying for you here, thank you. For ordinary people, their place of settlement would start out as their birthplace and it would be quite difficult, in the absence of a long settled job, to alter it. Hence she could have been living in Liverpool but still kept her place of settlement as Ireland. Having checked on Ancestry, I find it difficult to find details of the voyage, so, on a quick glance, I can't find the route. But gut feeling is that transatlantic shipping did not start in a place like Cobh. But nothing I've seen so far comes close to *confirming* where she got on. It's perfectly possible that she sailed from Liverpool. It's just as possible that she got on at Cobh / Queenstown. Adrian
