Here is a website listing, by county, those deported/transported from Ireland from 1737-1743. It is a big list (1,920 persons in 7 yrs): http://www.ulsterancestry.com/ua-free_Convicts-and-Vagabonds.html While it gives dates, and whether the transported person was a convict or a vagabond, I can't find where they were transported to. However, I would guess it was Australia. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com

Before American independence, transportation to American colonies was common. No convicts were transported to Australia until the 1780s.
