Hi Carl

A couple of great places for free resources in Australia are Family Search, but you need to use COLLECTIONS.... then look for IMMIGRATION - AUSTRALIA.. with the correct dates for the dataset you need... just a friendly reminder to use the NSW records for early arrivals to Vic and SA too, because they were not states until 1850s? (can't remember the year), so the records will be under NSW, but of course include SA or Vic as well if you need.  

For each immigrant, there are multiple records, there is the passenger list, the ship log, PLUS other records like the DEPOSITORS JOURNALS, BOUNTY IMMIGRANTS, ASSISTED IMMIGRATION etc.... which hold more bio info than just a passenger list will.   There ARE records on MHNSW (Maritime History NSW ARchives)... but it can be difficult to use with spelling variations.

 

I did a quick search for you, specifically for Margaret Slattery from Piercetown, but also kept an eye out for any Clonoutly Tipperary records... and found a few for you   I have put them below as screenshots where you will see the year, the ship name, then the persons name and bio... which includes parents names and names of family in the colony already.   I found these on Family Search.  Link below for the exact search criteria I used and the Collections I included.

 

https://www.familysearch.org/search/record/results?count=100&offset=100…

 

When you look at a record online, most of the immigration records are in a sort of alphabetical order... so all the Slatterys will be after each other, but the alphabetical order isn't always on their first name too, so flick through the pages before and after the Slattery you see, just in case there are some more for your family tree.

PLEASE look at the Collection on Family Search under Immigration for BOUNTY IMMIGRANTS, I noticed a LOT of Slatterys arriving... actually I noticed a lot arriving even before the bounty scheme, so set the dates for the 1820s too. Then have another search just on immigration to SA.  Not sure where your Slatterys lived but there were lots of families that came to Australia and didn't care which city they landed in because once they were here, they could head east or west easier... and sometimes they had a shorter wait to come here.

 

There were a few Slatterys from County Clare who arrived too, specifically a couple of families who were literally four daughters, the oldest 18, the youngest 11, both parents had already passed... I would assume the famine based on the dates of arrival... but these girls would have had family here, so they may be 'hidden' under another family of Slatterys... check the 1891 census too.

 

YOUR MARGARET SLATTERY

Yes she was living in Piercetown Tipperary by the looks... her parents were Thomas and Anne.  At the time of her trip to Australia on the SIROCCO, her father was still alive, her mum had passed away.   She is brought here by Michael Maher, who is her uncle... her mothers brother I believe.  But there is mention of THREE uncles here in the colony.  Mary can read and write and is a Roman Catholic. There is an address mentioned for uncle Michael Maher in NSW, I believe it says BEGGAN Twofold(?) Bay.

Please look at the images I have uploaded, they are all on Family Search, so free to access.... I have named the filename with a description so its easier for you.

I haven't found Casey yet, BUT, there are lots of Slattery's with bio info on the immigration registers and I guess if you wanted to do a search for Casey as an immigrant, it may come up. 

 

I have included a few extra screenshots of Slatterys I found, so you can see the types of records, which do includes specific locations in Ireland... all around Tipperary and County Clare, I think that if you wanted, you could start building a few family trees with them, they may connect to yours.

 

Hope something in there was helpful for you :)

Hi Lilly

A big thank you for doing all this researching for me. I have used FamilySearch to search for Baptisms etc however I have never used them to search for immigrants. Will do some searching for the Maher uncles and Daniel Casey. Once again, many thanks. I am truly impressed with the work you have done for me!

Regards Carl 

ps. I have been busy lately as our two grandchildren (aged 8 and 6) have been staying with us for two weeks during the school holidays.
