Mary Mc Hale b 1933 in Co Mayo parents Mark Machale & Mary Roony. Parents died and she entered the South Dublin workhouse in 1847. The girls from South Dublin workhouse were discharged together on 2/12/1848 and sent by Steam Packet (boat) to Plymouth (LDS film 2197949) where they boarded the Digby ship. The minutes of the Board or Guardians from workhouse around this time still exist & were also posted in the local paper. Apparently in the diary of George Binsted, the School Master on the Digby (arrived April 1849), there is mention of individual girls as well as the details of Capt Tabor and his defrauding of the girls by way of inferior and quantity of food and other reports of bad behaviour towards some of the girls. On arrival, these girls were admitted to Hyde Park Barracks. Mary was indentured to work for a magistrate who had property in Wellington.
