Have a look at this website: http://users.bigpond.net.au/convicts/page4.html Listed here are the names of many of the Irish Orphan girls sent to Australia - but it is not complete. A quick look showed three Connolly's. I have never seen a list of those who didn't make it - but I know many are listed as DV (died on voyage) in ship's passengers lists. There is a great book "Barefoot and Pregnant" which gives details and traces most of the Potato Famine Oprhan girls. I can get you the publishing details if you're interested in following it up.
