Place of migration
Migrated to/Born in Australia

My maternal 2X Great Grandparents, William and Eliza Stewart (nee ‘Caruth’ according to the death certificate of their son William James Stewart) emigrated from Dublin (via Plymouth) to Western Australia on the Emma Eugenia on 4 May (or 25/5) 1858. The ship logs show that Eliza was 37yrs and William 47yrs.

William joined the DMP aged 22yrs in August 1838 and worked as a policeman until he emigrated. The DMP records indicate he was born in Carrigallen, Leitrim. 

Details of the known children born in Ireland are:

- Agnes Stewart B 16 Oct 1848, 7 Clanbrassil St, Dublin 8; Baptised COI 24 Dec 1848 COI Parish of St Luke City of Dublin.

Mary Ann Stewart B 16 Oct 1848, 7 Clanbrassil St, Dublin 8; Baptised COI 24 Dec 1848 COI Parish of St Luke City of Dublin. It appears that Agnes and Mary Ann were twins but this Mary does not seem to have emigrated with the family. No death or other record in Dublin has been found. 

 Harriet Jane Stewart B 11 March 1851, 4 Mill St, Dublin 8; Baptised COI 13 Apr 1851; COI Parish of St Luke: Cork St, City of Dublin.

Mary Elizabeth Stewart B circa 1852-54 probably Dublin but no record found

William James Stewart B 20 March 1855 or 1857 at 11 Bishop St, Dublin. William James is my maternal Great Grandfather.
