This updated dataset, of 6,883 records, documents removals of impoverished individuals from English and Welsh Poor Law Unions to Irish destinations between 1857 and 1879. The entries vary in completeness. In some cases, only basic personal information is recorded, for example:
Name: Catharine Burns
Age: 6
Departure Union: Liverpool
Arrival Union: Carlow
Arrival Date: Estimated between 1875 and 1878
Length of Residence in England: 11 months
Other entries are more comprehensive and linked to original printed registers, which include data such as the authority issuing the removal, names of family members, and destination ports. In some cases, there are financial details.
As is to be expected, a large segment of removals is from Liverpool.
