Hi Debbie, I only have the 1909 and 1911 filming of the Tuam Herald in Galway County. I do however see the advertising for all the ships and where these are coming from, what Irish ports of arrival-departure and sailing schedule to where, along with the price. Since the ads are not directly interesting, most of us do not transcribe them. I transcribe one ad yesterday on a spray to prevent potato blight. BTW, where are your Woods folks from?

My G-g grandmother Catherine Costello from Galway, arrived on the ship "Pladda" in Port Chalmers, Otago, NZ under a scheme by the Otago Provincial Council to bring 1200 single young women from Britain as there was a shortage of domestic servants at the time. Catherine was not the only young woman from Galwayon board, so I am wondering if there had ever been any articles in the Galway papers from about July to November 1862 ? Thanks for any help.
