Adam Lodge passengers to Australia 1837

[Brian Boggs]

I have been researching this ship for about thirty years and am trying to find the names of the un named children and single girls on this ship There were 195 children on board and only sixteen were named. Since 1983, I have reduced the number of unknowns from 179 to 69. The following people i have not been able to identify the children:- John and Mary McCulloch/McCullogh 3 males and 3 females ( parents from Tyrone, he a stonecutter); Mathew and Alice McIlroy 3 females (parents from Tyrone, he a cooper); John and Mary Kelly 2 males and 2 females he a farmer from Tyrone); John and Rose Ingram from Fermanagh he a blacksmith, 3 females;
As this is getting a bitlengthy, I will not add the other parents and missing children's names but I will post the full list of children's names found later.
In addition, I am missing nine single girls'names out of twenty on board.
Alick Osborne, surgeon on the ship sent a full list to the Colonial Emigration Office prior to leaving for Australia. The records were copied for the AJCP but it appears that this list is missing from the records copied (why I don't know)
The list that I have i found in the quarantine papers in 1985 and this list is the one that all current information has been gleaned from by archivists here in Australia. This post is enough! More later.

Thank you for reply on 23rd November. At present, the story on McElroy is as follows:
Matthew, a cooper, born 1800 and his wife Alice both Catholics from County Tyrone arrived on the Adam Lodge with their three female children in Sydney in 1837. The children on arrival were most likely Sarah, born 1833 died Cumberland 1861 aged 28 yrs ; and maybe Margaret who married John Crenaga in 1863 and either June, Bridget or Mary who had marriages to Henry Buck 1864; John Gillies in Sydney 1875 and William Thompson at Armidale in 1866 respectively .
Matthew McIlroy had a house in Surry Hills in 1842
Alice, the mother died 1873 at age 74  in Sydney; Matthew the father died 1878 in Paddington in 1878.
Two sons, John baptised 1841 and Charles born 1843 were born in Sydney and on the voyage out, John, a son, died  on July 13th aged 1 year and 6 months

Thank you,
You have helped me remove a great Heritage splinter !
If I ever find you I'll buy you a beer !!
Great stuff, not sure where you get all this but I appreciate it...

For accuracy I have Matthew & Alice (McILroy also McAlroy) (also Mathew & Alicia)
who boarded "Adam Lodge" with three Children (all Girls?? say you ..)
Unfortunately on the day they arrived in Sydney Harbour Matthew McIlroy aged 14 months died.
as per Alik Osbourne's  Log 1837.
"July 13: "Fine weather at 10am pilot on board. Died this morning Matthew Mcilroy (sic)
aged 14 mos. Buried at 11am. At 2pm died Mrs Egan of pleurisy. Anchored in Neutral bay"'.

Maybe little Matthew was no listed ? maybe only two girls ?

MY GGF X 4 Matthew & John  his older brother were Registered Births in NSW.
My gut feel is they  appeared to settle as  a "Sydney town family"

If you could share any info links on the girls I'd appreciate it..

Regards

Hi there,

I think the surname has been mish-mashed even further .... McAHOY....

I suspect they are indexed as MCAHOY at the online index of Miscellaneous Immigrants at NSW State Records.

http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/state-archives/indexes-online/indexes-to-immigration-and-shipping-records/index-to-miscellaneous-assisted-immigrants

From other resources :

I think that a list of Mechanics and etc on board the vessel “Adam Lodge” should be available at the State Records Office of NSW, with their references as Volume 4/2378 and No. 37/6632

37-432 Matthew McALROY per Adam Lodge 13 July 1837 to Sydney, a passenger, a Cooper, Catholic, Read and Write, aged 30, native place: Tyrone
37-433 -Alice McALROY passenger, per Adam Lodge 13 July 1837
37-434 Child McALROY, passenger, per Adam Lodge 13 July 1837
37-435 Child McALROY, passenger, per Adam Lodge 13 July 1837
37-436 Child McALROY, passenger, per Adam Lodge 13 July 1837
