Title: Ireland - Australia Transportation Records
Year(s): 1780-1867
Description: This database documents the forced emigration of individuals transported from Ireland to Australia between 1780 and 1867, offering a crucial resource for researchers tracing convict ancestry, migration history, and Irish-Australian connections during the 18th and 19th centuries.
This period covers the full span of Ireland's contribution to the Australian penal colony system, from the early years of transportation to New South Wales through to the final phases in the mid-19th century.
Drawn from a range of archival sources this database is an essential tool for genealogists, historians, and anyone interested in the lives and stories of Irish men and women who were exiled across the world under penal law.
