I thought this was interesting, from the book The Irish in Australia..... *Nearly half a million Irish lived in England in 1841. They emigrated from there and were counted as English. *The ship, the Glenswilly in 1841, sailing from London and Plymouth, with 310 emigrants returned as English were actually Irish, having been brought across to join the ship in Plymouth. These two instances mean that maybe our Irish are hiding, involuntary so, under the guise of English!
