Jane O'Leary

My Irish orphan ancestor Jane O’Leary, my great great grandmother, was one of the orphans sent from the Skibbereen workhouse to Port Phillip, departing Liverpool December 31st, 1849.

She married an English exile, Thomas Constable in 1852 and eventually had 7 children.

She told her family that when emigrating, she thought she was going to America with her brothers (who presumably were also in the Skibbereen workhouse.)

She said she was separated from her brothers in the confusion on the wharf and thought she must have got on the wrong ship. 

Sadly there is no record of the brothers Christian names, however as I have DNA matches to people in Louisiana, I assume the brothers' ship arrived in south eastern USA about March 1850 (assuming a 3 month trip from Plymouth to USA (it may have been quicker than 3 months.)

Unfortunately, orphan Jane didn’t know her parents' names or even how old she was.

The Skibbereen workhouse records were destroyed in a fire.

I have been to Ireland twice, searching for information, to no avail.

My question is:  Are there any more recently discovered records that might help in my search for her parents or relatives names?
