G'morning all, I am researching sisters Anastasia (aged 17) and Ellen (aged 20) FOX who came to Brisbane from Cork approximately 1895. I have found Ellen 's death in 1897 (with her baby) and Anastasia marrying Daniel Horgan in 1912 in Brisbane. I have searched widely for the arrival of the sisters into Queensland (and other states) without success..does anyone know what scheme might have been in place at that time to entice unmarried Irish women to Queensland (and probably Australia)..would they have come under the auspices of an Irish/Australian catholic immigration society..the family story does not tell of any other family member already here in Australia when the girls arrived, and that puzzles me. Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated..thanks Elly Hill ps..the family story is that the brother of the sisters was not prepared to sell any more of his land to pay a dowry so the girls were sent out to Australia..I don't know if that is fact or fiction :-)) --
