I don’t think the potato blight was the only reason Australia had solid emigration from Ulster in the 1850s. There was also the problem of over population. In many cases the number of children born to a couple could not be supported by the small plot of land they were farming and there was no way these small farms could be divided to support all the families of a couple’s children. If the farm stayed intact and was inherited by the eldest son often the other sons emigrated. At this time there were various schemes by the NSW Govt encouraging emigration.
