The Panama: Mayo Workhouse origin
|
The Mayo girls on the Panama came from the four Mayo workhouses that participated in the Emigration Scheme. Ballina sent 40 girls, Ballinrobe sent 25, Castlebar sent 15, and Westport sent 10 girls.
On arrival in Sydney, the Immigration Agent recorded the 'Native Place' for each of the girls. The Mayo orphan girls gave either the name of the workhouse, or their town, townland, or parish of origin. A map showing the location of these places can be found on The Mayo Girls page. Clicking on an orphan girl's underlined name below will bring up more information, where available. |
