Title: Emmigrants from Ireland1847 - 1852
Post by: mbee on Saturday 13 April 13 18:04 BST (UK)
Wondered if anyone knew if this book by Eilish Ellis is available to view anywhere in Galway.  There are copies for sale on the internet but with a starting price of £50+ it is too expensive as I dont know if it will give me any info.  I regularly visit Ireland from UK but dont know where to look for it

Have you not tried the Library in Galway.

Do not know of this book but another one available on openlibrary.org for free-Emigration from Ireland-Report of the Committee Mr. Tuke's Fund-published June 1882. Covers this period, too.

are you based in Ireland?
Most Irish libraries operate a service to transfer books for research/check out; it may not be required to actually go to Galway to view the book.

We will be in Longford in a couple of weeks so perhaps if I contact Galway Library to see if they have it they may be able to transfer it to Londford, thanks for that
