Krisha, I wonder if Patrick McAdam appears on the immigration papers you have? Also, could you tell me what your source is and where to find it? Thank you, Kathleen

Sorry, no McAdams on my source. I am looking at a copy of the Clogher record. An essay written by Dr. Patrick J. Duffy "Assisted Emigration from the Shirley Estate 1843-54" It's about 60 pages long and lists names of tenants on the Shirley Estate that were "assisted" in their emigration. The tales are so sad to read as this was the famine years. Also included is some correspondence from the administration of the Estate showing how hundreds of families were paid to leave. The entire Shirley Estate Collection is at PRONI. It is a very large collection. My source does not include all of the possible names.

Krisha, Could you check your papers for John Lunney? He came to the US in that time frame. Born 1833 in Ballybay. Sam Lunney

Hello Krisha. I too am looking for folk from Ballybay, Co. Monaghan in the time span just prior to 1845. James and John Marshall arrived in Upper Canada and James took up land in 1845 in Manvers Township, Durham County. I wonder if they appear in your documents. Many thanks Fred

Hi I missed the original posting here and am assuming from the replies that Krisha has 'volunteered' (?) to do some lookups. If so, I would be most grateful if she could check for Moses Cherry and his wife Margaret (nee Gawley). Regards Peter, the older of the two Robbos, at Bairnsdale, capital of the Victorian Riviera
