Ellen arrived in Hobart, Tasmania, aged 18 years (free), on 29 December, 1856.  She was listed a girl servant.  She was assigned to work for a William Carter in Hobart.  She met Scottish convict, William Imlach (from Keith, Scotland) and they had a number of children together before finally marrying in Hobart, Tasmania in 1885.  Their children were:  James, John, Izard Alexander, William, Daniel, Thomas, Joseph, David Cosmos, Mary Frances, Margaret Ada and Anne Gertrude Imlach.  Ellen's husband ran a dairy in Launceston, Tasmania and she passed away in Launceston aged 68 years old on 14th July, 1906.

Two of her daughters, who never married, lived in a small cottage on Elphin Road, Launceston.  The name plate beside the front door read:  "Limerick"

    Irish press warns against Jamaican Indentured Servitude

    <p>The theme was always the same: the pestilential climate of the island, the reduction of poor emigrants to slaves, the severity and cruelty of the planters (and planter-dominated Assembly clinging to every vestige of oppression) and, of course, the absence of priests and chapels.</p>
