Barefoot & Pregnant? Irish famine orphans in Australia volume 2

"Their homes broken and their parents dead, the adolescent Irish orphan girls sent to Australia, at the time of the Great Famine faced new hardships when they arrived. Maligned as "useless trollops", "barefoot little country beggars", "easily given to the gratification of their desires", they battled to carve a new life for themselves in the city and the bush.

This collection of documents allows the reader to decide if they were wrongfully condemned from the outset. The register of all orphans who came to Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Hobart proves to be an essential reference tool for family historians and anyone interested in the migration of Irish females.
