Hi Peter,

An Ann Gooley per 'Maria' arrived in Sydney 1 August 1850 as one of the Irish Famine orphans sent to Australia from Irish workhouses under the Earl Grey scheme. There's mention of her in volume 2 of Trevor McClaughlin's BArefoot & Pregnant? Irish Famine orphans in Australia page 295 [ISBN 0949672513.She isdescribed as being 15yrs old, RC, coming from Tipperary. Both her parents Phillip and Honora were dead.

See www.irishfaminememorial.org

The annual celebration of the monument at Hyde PArk Barracks in Sydney willl be held this Sunday 31 August 2008 c 12.30pm. Descendants of these 'girls' are very welcome See Events 2008 on that website.

best wishes

PS Peter's query was here a minute ago, posted c. June 2008. It seems to have disappeared
