I am searching for the ship my Walsh ancestors arrived in Australia on. What I have so far is I think they arrived in Melbourne October 1854 on the ship Black Eagle. The problem I have is that my ggrandmother Ellen Walsh who would have been 4 at the time was not listed with them. It has been suggested that she is the 4 year old listed with the family Lawlor, from Kilkenny,who were on the same sailing. The reason being that under some assisted immigrant schemes the families were allowed to have a certain amount of children with them so they put other children with other families. I haven't been able to confirm if this is correct or not. I also have that Patrick Walsh (my ggrandmothers brother) was born on 30 Jan 1847 in Chapel L. Kilkenny. The sponsors (godparents) at his baptism were Thomas Cody and Maria LAWLESS. Lawlor and Lawless, could it be a typo. Michael if you see this go to http://proarchives.imagineering.com.au/Index_search.asp?searchid=24 and do a search for Lawlor, to see if any of the names match yours. I would be interested to hear from you regarding Ellen Lawlor if you have one in your family tree.
