Hello, I was wondering, please, if SKS would kindly help me. :) I have a "barque" "Julia" which came from Edinborough to Cork and then to New York. It landed in Cork, I believe, Sept. of 1877 and landed in Nov. of that year, carrying my grfather, TWISS, Wm. Jas. I was wondering, there might be some info. on this "barque" online, or, even, please, any info. on a Ship's List? I have tried a lot of websites on Ship's Lists and nothing, whatsoever, on the Julia. Is there anyone who might be able to assist me, please? I am having "a bird" with this one. Are there websites on "barques"? I have tried putting this word into my browser and it does not seem to appear very knowledgable on this word. Please, help me. :) I would appareciate any assistance anyone without they can suggest. Any would help even minor--I might even find something there! :) Thank you so much. Shannah

Just in case anyone wondering what life was like to immigrate from the homeland of Ireland or England during the 1840--60 time period her e below is a site to see just how the immigrants made out on the ships, besides the coffin ships. This ship mentioned went from Germany to England to pick up passengers than across the Atlantic. Most ships by the 1860's to 80's took less time to arrive than the 8 weeks of this log. But the next time you are having a bad day and thinking how things could be better just think of these ancestors of ours and how brave they were to make the trip in the first place. this family log is from another source than Irish. I am doing some research now into the German side of family and found this. http://zelltree.com/VoyageLog.htm

I recently found out more about the ship that brought my great-grandfather from Ireland to the USA in 1863. The ship is listed as 200 feet long and 28 feet deep. There were 793 passengers on board with four deaths and one birth. Is it possible for a ship of that size to carry that many passengers? Cecilia

There are over 2000 head of households listed.

I am still searching for my Buckley family who supposedly were born in Kerry, but the parents lived in Glin at the time of their childrens immigration to Australia which was around 1850s. The parents were John Buckley and Mary Connolly/Kennelly The children were John born c.1821 Margaret born c.1831 Mary born c. 1833 Johanna born c. 1840 From the above dates would I be correct in assuming that there would have been more chldren. It seems a big gap between the first and second child and the third and fourth child. We are in the process of ;publishing a family history book and I would love to find out a bit more on my Buckley family. Is there anyone out there connected to this family.

Wexford you said for PUDSLEY..........I found the name Pugsley in Gorey co Wexford in 1853............ I find it is a name found in UK From the 1630 and also in Scotland I can no longer find it as listed either as Pudsley or Pugsley in any of the later sources for Ireland that I have. Puxley I found in Cork 1749 on a will Puxley found in Galway 1834~ Will Puxley Dublin residing at 51 Bolton Street, Dublin in 1831 eas Ottiwel Puxley, from a will index. There finishes my good deed for today Yours CARA

Kaye Vernon <kjvernon@bigpond.net.au> wrote << I have searched for the name Pudsley and have not found anything. ... Has anyone ever heard of the name or is it another similar name that has been spelt incorrectly on the shipping records? >> Try Puxley which is an English surname.

I have recently found a Hudson / Pudsley family that I believe are part of my family. I have searched for the name Pudsley and have not found anything. They were from Wexford. Has anyone ever heard of the name or is it another similar name that has been spelt incorrectly on the shipping records?

> > I have a Thomas D'Arcy buried in Holy Cross Cemetery in our French family > plot in Brooklyn, NY. He died in 1906 at 65 years old. We do not know where he > fits into our French family. It is not a certainty in any given case, but in the period 1850 to 1910, many family plot owners allowed burials of needy unrelated persons, especially where there was no additional family need and where the deceased person was a family friend or member of the same parish. Cultural changes thereafter eliminated much of the practice. Jim Pearson james.pearsom1@comcast.net
