1822 - Disturbance in North Cork - Link

[Christopher]

During the disturbance a reasonable number of young men were arrested and transported to Australia. The reason for their transportation ranged from being out at night after the curfew to more serious incidents.  http://webhome.idirect.com/~obrienr/cork1823.html
Other people were encouraged to emigrate by the offer of free  Land Grants in Canade.

Hello Christopher, i have read many of your links and coments and found them very useful.... this one is of most interest!
My ancesters left Cork around this time but turn up in 1828 in London with the birth of their second child. The first Child John Donoghue is born c1821 in Cork. The Parents are Jerimiah And Johanna [no known maiden name or marriage details] I have found this via the English Census starting in 1841.
I have no way of tracing my ancesters any further because Cork is so vast and the names are very common but at least i can now understand why they left such a lovely place before any of the famine troubles.
Thank you for your research it helps fill a big ? i had.
best regards
Mick Bolger
