Migrated to/Born in Australia

Margaret Galvin was born in Tipperary around 1832. Haven't quite confirmed  a birth for her yet.

Her life in Ireland is a complete mystery

From the Workhouse .... to the Earl Grey Scheme and to Victoria, Australia on the 'Pemberton' in 1849

No parents listed, no workhouse found

In Victoria, Australia she married James Winward (an English ex convict) and had 11 children. I am descended from that 11th child.

She died in 1875 from 'sub acute inflammation of the liver & spleen'

    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>
