Dear all
My ancetors, John Hennesy and Elizabeth Sloane, left Ireland in 1841 for Australia as Assisted Immgirants. They travelled on a boat called the Gilmore to Syndey.
I wonder if there are some documents related to assisted immgirants in Ireland related to those two people ?
Many thanks for you help and adivse
Oliver
Some additional information from Australian Assisted Passenger records that might help…
John Hennesy age 27 occupation carpenter, listed with Elizabeth Hennesy age 21 occupation housemaid. Both Roman Catholic, John cannot read or write, Elizabeth can read & write, native place for both Co. Cork. The Gilmore seems to have left from London and appears to have provisioned on the way at Cape Town.
I dont think any records for this type of migration are held in Ireland, but there might be further details in England, e.g. National Archives.

Added : I found a previous post on this couple : John Hennessy and Elizabeth Sloane / Diocese of Cloyne
(the marriage discussed in this earlier post is Church of Ireland...)
