Immigrating to work elsewhere
« on: Tuesday 08 November 11 22:03 GMT (UK) »
Hi There

I have a Mary Montgomery who immigrated to Tasmania in 1884 to work for a Mr Waller as a Domestic servant. I found also 2 other people on board also immigrating to work for the same man. A fellow rootschatter looked up the Freemans Journal and no advertising was found.

What I'd like to know is, is the Freemans journal the only method of advertising for overseas people looking for workers from ireland? I'm hoping to find out what Mr Wallers full name is or what part of Tasmania he was living in.

Thank you

Regards

Wonder if this is your Mr. Waller

Might be worth trying to find out from the Tasmania end rather than the Irish one.

Lots of information has now been posted on the Australian thread so I'm going to lock this one to prevent duplication. Any replies with new details can be posted there.
