I am trying to find information such as birth, baptism, siblings and parents of my great great grandmother.  Her name was Jane Malcolmson (also recorded as Makisson) who was known to have been born in 1832 and some entries here in Australia has her born in Drumlane, Longford, Killashandria Co. Cavan.  I don't know if all /any of these places are in order.  She arrived in Australia in 1849 and her parents given as Nathanial and Nancy - both dead.  One entry in shipping records state origin as Killkewan Co. Roscommon.  This all seems very confusing and I don't seem to get far in my researching in Ireland.  Do hope someone has some leads for me.  Many thanks,

I am looking for any information of IRISH ORPHAN GIRLS who were sent to Australia in 1848-1850 to be servants in the colonies.
My great great grandmother, Jane Malcolmson arrived in Australia on the 'DIGBY' on 4 April 1849.  She was born about 1832 and was from Killashandra or Drumlane, Cavan, Longford, Ireland.  Shipping records show her parents were Nathaniel Malcolmson and Ann Nancy Crawford. Four months later on 8th August 1849 she married Thomas Joseph Turner in Dapto, Wollongong NSW.  However her name on marriage register is Jane Makisson! This of course could have resulted when Malcolmson was said with a heavy Irish accent.  She married John Pye in 1879 and died in Wellington NSW on 29th November 1908.
I am hoping someone will be able to point me in the direction of where the history of these orphan girls is deposited.
Many thanks,
