HI I have 4 orphan irish sisters who somehow ended up in Liverpool from donegal Ireland abt 1839 they were Alice Susan, Ellen, Mary & Rose Scanlin/Scanlon/Scanlan they were transported too Australia aboard the Champion and arrived in Nov 1840. Their parents were james Scanlin and Mary Ann Brynes. I have been trying too find more information on how these children ended up in Liverpool before being transported too australia. If their parents died in Ireland where did they stay before being transported too Liverpool, when they arrived there where did they stay, what happen too their parents I gess I will never know but if anyone can help point me in the right direction as too learning more about their time before they arrived in australia this would be wonderful and or what records too look into this would be a greta help
