Hi there:

You are the second post about emigration to Canada this morning! I have given the following websites to the other poster which I will copy here for you:

https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Library_and_Archives_Canada

Canadiana website which is an amalgamation of various libraries and other reference collections and it has a lot of information that may be useful to you. https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/Pages/home.aspx

I would also suggest that you have a look at the Carlow Historical Society website here: https://carlowhistorical.com/

and the Wexford Historical Society website here: http://www.wexfordhistoricalsociety.com/

If you need any further assistance, please let us know.

All the best,

Jane
