Lady McNaughton ship to Australia

[Oz Peggy]

Hello Gallindanne,
 Joseph Walsh arrived in NSW on board the Lady McNaghten Convict ship in 1835. He was tried in 1834 at Antrim and given a 7 year sentence for stealing clothes. He was single,a Catholic and his occupation was given as a porter. Date of birth 1816. This is from the Irish transportation registers. A goos website is Irish convicts to New South Wales. Also try the Australian website TROVE where you will find a 'treasure trove of digitised newspapers from all states in Australia from 1803 to about 1954. Often the papers had stories abput the convicts their assignments etc.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more information I can always do look ups for you at my local family history centre!

Many years later, someone reads an old listing.
I have a copy of the book "Quarantined! the 1837 Lady Macnaghten Immigrants".  Mary O'Connell - family is listed as Connell  - details on p.79 - note for her says born c 1820, Cork; note on same page says married 1840 to George Henry Barker.  The family had 9 children, only 7 arrived safely in Sydney - twin girls aged 1 died of measles.
George Henry Barker - not identified as a passenger;  only reference found was in the note for the O'Connell family.
Information for the notes relating to this family from NSW BDm, and Mrs E. Casey, Leonard Munday, Fr Brian Maher and Peter Mayberry.

Just came across this old post,when searching for accurate info on the ship The Lady Mc Naughton.
regarding Frederick Henstridge born South Newton Wiltshire 1818 and wife Maria nee Smith born 1824,who are believed to be on the 1850 sailing from Plymouth. Ship arrived Adelaide 15th May 1850.
This family survived so presume conditions improved.
Any further information on this family welcomed,thanks,Brionne.

Many thanks rathmore and Kiltaglassan for your interest and time in finding info on this Henstridge family. I have unearthed quite a bit by various means since posting. The obits are useful ,had just the Findagrave only. Thankyou.
I actually come from the same Wiltshire village South Newton as this couple and discovered their route to Adelaide 1850s quite by chance. They had at least seven children,eldest Henry[Harry] born 1849,before they left Wiltshire.
Very interested to confirm the sailing details, as its an early one.
The many branches of the seven children all  stayed mainly in South Australia,still finding more.
If you have a few minutes to find the Lady McNaughton sailing details,if any, would be grateful/
Looks like the ship started in Ireland before embarking the English passengers in Plymouth.
Found today that the Workhouse site has info on sponsored emigration to South AUS from 1850 onwards,from parish workhouses.Wilton sent some,no lists of course anywhere this end.
Very interesting,thanks again,Brionne
