Hi Jane I have done a search through Google for "Sir William Eyre" which lead me to the IRL-Wicklow mailing list archives and a posting that states "The Sir William Eyre left Liverpool on April 20,1857". The message can be found in May of 2000 with subject of BIRTHISEL from County Wicklow Pre 1857.
