Hi folks, At present I have on loan from my local library "Log of Logs" Vol 3 by Ian Nicholson. "Sir William Eyre" not mentioned by maybe in Vol 1 or 2. If you give me names of ships I may find info on the ship for you. regards Meg Burpengary, Qld Australia > Subject: [IRL-ANTRIM] ports of departure in Northern Ireland for emigration > to Australia - 1857 > > Hi, > > > > Can SKS tell me where the most likely ports of departure for emigration to > Australia might be near Portglenone/Co Antrim. > > > > My gggrandfather & wife emigrated aboard the Sir William Eyre.
