I am researching the family of my gg grandmother Ellen Connors who was in Sydney in September 1841. In 1854 she sponsored Hanora Burke, born about 1818 and Ellen (or Helen)  Burke born about 1840, for immigration to Sydney, Australia. I believe Hanora Burke was Ellen's sister who had married James Burke in Kilmallock in 1839. There were 3 children, Helen (1840), Eliza (1846) and James (1850). Ellen Connor's father was James or John Connors and her mother Eliza Cronin. In 1853 she sponsored a William Connors. Ellen lived in Redfern, Sydney and in December 1841 had a daughter Honora.  In 1844 She married a convict, John Friendship. Ellen died in Sydney in 1889.

    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>
