Henry George Grey, 3rd Earl Grey (1802 - 1894) Colonial Secretary (1846 to 1852) introduced the Pauper Emigration Scheme to the Colonies. The scheme which was intended to increase the Colonial workforce
and reduce the imbalance between the sexes was adopted by many Irish Workhouses. Between 1848 - 1849,
4000 orphaned girls left Ireland.  http://www.slsa.sa.gov.au/fh/passengerlists/PauperImmigrationScheme.htm

Emigration to North America in 1847 http://www.theshipslist.com/1847/index.htm

A number of people wonder how their ancestors found sufficient money to emigrate as they were poor Irish peasants. PRONI's page about 19th Century to the North Americas contains an item "Landlords as agents of emigration" which explains the situation.

The Ulster Scots who emigrated from the north of Ireland during the 1718 Migration hailed from two particular districts in County Londonderry. The first group were from the Bann Valley area north of Garvagh and Kilrea, which included the parishes of Aghadowey, Macosquin, Kilrea, Dunboe, and Ballywillin. The second group came from the Foyle Valley area including the Laggan of Co. Donegal and parts of Counties Londonderry and Tyrone, north of Strabane.

After 1741 an estimated 12,000 Ulster Scots left Ulster each year. However these numbers increased between 1771 and 1773 when 30,000 migrated within the two year period. www.ulsterflash.iofm.net/1780rebellion.htm
