Famine Orphan Girl ships

[Chatso58]

           Hi
sometime back I came across a website for Famine orphan girl ships arriving in Australia, and I believe their was a Catherine Donnellan working on one of the ships, I now can't find this site again. if anyone can help with any good sites or in finding Catherine I would be most grateful, I am not sure if she came as McMahon her maiden name or married name Donnellan now, as it was so long ago and I just wanted to take another look at it.

I assume that you are looking for someone arriving in NSW?  There were also 3 ships that came to SA in 1848 - 1850 carrying Irish Famine orphans.  do you have any more information?

There is an excellent book called Barefoot & Pregnant by Trevor McClaughlin.  You might want to see if you can find a copy of that and check out the passenger lists.

In terms of the ships that came to SA, other than for the Elgin, the passenger lists are incomplete.  On the lists that do exist, there is no record of a Catherine Donnellan.
