Hi Trevor, my 3x great grandmother was Margaret Britt who married Robert Parry. I’m keen to know how you came to have the info on her, and if you’re able to put me in contact with the person who provided it. I’m really enjoying all the info on the Irish orphans!

Jac,
I had tosearch for her, she’s one of three orphan Britts. She was in Barefoot vol1, one of the orphans I’d ‘found’ when I had access to Victorian BDM records when they were held in Queen Streetin the 1980s.There was always a questionmark over those I’d found. But one can usually cross check the info if one has access to those brilliant records. At various times when her children’s birth was being recorded she’s listed as being from Carrick on Suir, Tipperary, Waterford, all in close proximity to one another. So age, date of arrival, name, origin and cross checking BDM records would have been the basis of my thinking she was the orphan who married Robert Parry.

Hi Trevor
Just a few lines thought you may be interested my 2nd ggrandmother Rose Murphy came out on the Diadem . She married John Tow who was a pardoned convict they married in 1851 in Melbourne and had 5 children. She died in 1889 in Bendigo and is buried in White Hills cemetery, I was very moved by some of the stories of the orphans and what they had to endure hopefully they all had better lives in Australia.

Hi Brenda,
This is what was in Barefoot vol2 and since up on the website. It’s interesting to see there is a record of her in the workhouse. http://irishfaminememorial.org/orphans/database/?surName=murphy&firstName=&age=0&nativePlace=&parents=&religion=0&ship=7

Hi Trevor,
Thanks for this email re the Irish Orphans on the Pemberton etc.
I do have a query. I cannot understand the details that you have for my great-great grandmother. Firstly you have the ship she arrived on as the Diadem on the record yet you have her name listed as a passenger on the Pemberton.
Must be reading it incorrectly!

Hi Cheryl,
Not sure what the problem is. On the form above she is noted as having arrived by the Pemberton. She was residing at Darebin when she married. Am i missing something? Apologies for the faintness of the scan.
I’ve tried sending you an improved copy via my Getupstandup email. Do get back to me if there is still a problem. best wishes
