How do you edit posts in this blog please? I realise that I wrote 1950 instead of 1850 several times. I can't find an edit button.

Yes I have tried Family Search and she isn't in there anywhere. I tried looking up information in the National Archives database and all I get is 0 results. It's so frustrating!

We are searching for any trace of our ancestor Mary Chambers born circa 1935 before she left Ireland (County Dublin) in 1950 with other Earl Grey Orphans bound for Sydney NSW via Plymouth on the Maria. The Maria came into Plymouth Port late after it was discovered that 38 orphans to be transported on the ship were discovered to be suffering from the 'The Itch', in order to give them time to recover. It set sail on 7.3.1950. Mary was listed on the transportation document as being able to read but not write, that her profession was nursemaid and that she was Catholic.
A reference that a researcher in Australia read when he visited the Archives when they were in Dublin Castle read a government report on emigrants suffering from 'The Itch' and noted that a Mary Chambers name was listed amongst the 38 girls and that she came from Rathdown Workhouse. The reference that he took down for this archived material was CSORP 1850 0 2718. We have not been able to verify the researcher's notes yet and so we are looking a copy of the archived reference above or for any information on a Mary Chambers from Rathdown Union Workhouse (or any workhouse) who might have been discharged circa early 1950 bound for Plymouth.
Can anyone assist please?
