Thank you to Cheryle, Wendy and Kaye who answered my query about the departure point for Tipperary Emigrants to Australia. Further to this - would anyone know if these people left Ireland year round - or were departures seasonal - and approx how long did the voyage take? My great grandmother was supposed to be 16 when she came to Australia. Her birthday was the end of April/beginning of May. Thanks in anticipation for any ideas and information, Estelle _________________________________________________________________ Thousands of jobs, millions of opportunities.
