Re: [CoTyroneMailingList] sailing information
Hi Len Thank you all for your help and thoughts. The G.H. Parke I see in the Quebec Mercury 1838 Shipping Intelligence has an Office on India Wharf Quebec city and has commissioned several ships to be built in Quebec and New Brunswick. They then re-register the ships from Canada to Belfast (Archives Canada). I suspect that the Gown, Parke co. 1855 in the advertisement is possibly a later merger of two companies, Gown and G.H. Parke. As you mentioned they do handle a lot of passengers especially in steerage. I believe that at least eight families sailed that day with them leaving the Pomeroy area forever and sailing to Canada. The average family size being five to six it would take a reasonably sized Bark or ship to accommodate them all. You all have given me several leads to follow thank you for your help and any further thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Roy iola here. I guess I haven’t done any searching in the Belfast Newsletter Archive for some time. All I had done in the past was a simple google search. Today, everything that comes up...comes at a cost. All I could find that is still accessible is the Louisiana University index. www.ucs.louisiana.edu. I do have a subscription to Ancestry and have access that way. British Newspapers is good also but you must have a subscription. The shipping news in that paper is easy to find though and very interesting. Names of passengers aren’t given however.The Quebec Gazette and the Quebec Morning Chronicle are two other sources but I have not used them. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help. iola From: Ron McCoy via CoTyroneList Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2018 5:38 AM To: cotyronelist@cotyroneireland.com Cc: Ron McCoy Subject: Re: [CoTyroneMailingList] sailing information Hi Elwyn It is always possible that Liverpool played a part but I am working on the memory past down by my great grand father Wm McCoy who makes no mention of Liverpool. He remembered the leaving of Belfast and the terrible passage they had. Locked in a hold as a steerage passenger with terrible sickness aboard the ship. He made no mention to my grand father of any stops other then the landing at Quebec. The church records show their Pastor David Evans who I believed traveled with them leaving his post in 1838 the same year my people say they left. Rev Evans church log shows him recording births and deaths in mid August of 1838 at St. Theresa Quebec where they hoped to homestead but were forced to leave do to political unrest. Taking into account the ice burg season and they did not travel south and come up through he USA that gives a very small window they could have come. I think the most likely time of arrived would be May to mid July. 1838 was by all accounts a lower year for Irish immigrants traveling to Canada according to the Quebec Mercury. Given all of that if it is correct lowers the number of possible ships down to three or four with the Dumfrires Shire being a likely candidate as it is clearly mentioned carrying 276 steerage passengers who are sick and taken to St. Ill de Gosse May 27th. The bulk of the shipping from Belfast was by a company called G.H. Parke owner of the ship. Parke co. They had lost 300 steerage passengers a few years earlier on the ship Lady of the Lake when she struck an ice burg off Newfoundland in late April. This is the only record I can find of the company other then the comings and goings in the Shipping news and the shipping list. Genealogy is as always based on slim hopes.

Re: [CoTyroneMailingList] Sailing Information
If your ancestor belonged to the British Army he/they may have emigrated on an army emigration ship. Chelsea pensioners were sometimes given the opportunity to resettle in Canada or Australia (maybe South Africa?). That is how my g-g-g-grandfather came to Canada. It is recorded in the Pensioner records; the date, where they were coming from, where they were going to, and the ship they leaving on. If they came to Canada, especially out west, they likely came through York Factory. Here is a link that lists all British shipping through there from 1508-1920. It lists the year, name of ship, Captain, and who chartered the ship. Emigration ships could be listed as transport ships and/or British Government chartered. There are no passenger lists with this. I believe they may be in another register but suspect only husband name would be listed along with number of dependents. Still searching for this though. https://hallnjean.wordpress.com/ships/ This was Dr. Norma J Hall's PhD thesis.

Hello Katie, On the top left where it says page 1, change it to page 2 or whatever page you want. There aren’t many pages. Good luck. Iola.

There aren’t any arrows, etc. Thanks, Katie Green On Aug 18, 2018, at 10:07 AM, Iola Whiteside via CoTyroneList wrote: Hi Ron, Iola here.
