Very little is known about the origins or even the names of passengers on the ship "Economy" other than 285 of them were on board when the ship sailed from Tobermory on 4th August 1819 and all were landed "in good health and spirits", together with 4 children born during the passage, at Pictou, Nova Scotia, on 4th October. However, from the little information that has been found, it is known that the ship carried passengers from Coll, Tiree, Colonsay, and probably elsewhere in the Highlands and Western Isles. Eugene Quigley in Canada has searched out what information is available about passengers from Coll or Tiree, and his findings are now available on the Emigrant Ships page of the Tiree Genealogy and Coll Genealogy websites. More is known about passengers on the ship "St Lawrence", which sailed from Tobermory on 12th July 1828 for Cape Breton with the last residents of Rum and people from Muck, Coll and probably elsewhere. Their names are known from the passenger list, but their origins and what happened to them in Canada are not known for many. Again, Eugene Quigley has searched out what information is available about passengers on the "St Lawrence", and his findings have been added to the passenger list on the websites. It would be good if we could fill in the very big gaps in our knowledge about these early emigrations to Canada, so any information will be welcomed and acknowledged. ___________________________________________ Keith Dash Sydney, Australia Isle of Tiree Genealogy: www.tireegenealogy.com Isle of Coll Genealogy: www.collgenealogy.com
