immgration sign-up list of residents of Wexford/ Carlow of 1817

A Release of Protestant families preparing to emigrate from the
counties of Carlow and Wexford in the insuing Spring — dated (New)
Ross, 29th November 1817
These lists of Protestant and Roman Catholic emigrants from counties Carlow and
Wexford intending to emigrate to British America (via Quebec) list only the head-ofhousehold, with the numbers of persons within each family group. The lists were
compiled at the end of November 1817 and indicated the intention of those entered, to
sail in the Spring of 1818 . . . as of that date. Some may have decided against
emigration and others may have decided to be included. The condition of the filmed
lists make some names difficult to decipher (eg. folds in paper) but every endeavour
has been made to accurately record the names. The names are extracted as found and
are not in alphabetical order, however related groups appear to be listed in close
proximity. The "search in page" feature in your browser can be used, but be aware of
spelling variations.
All the men were listed as Farmers with a few additionally listed as Mechanics, so the
occupation column has been omitted. Any other occupation will be noted in the name
field. The field indicating number of family members accompanying will be headed
with the letter F and the names are grouped in "10s" to help differentiate between
identical names.
Be aware, that a few families appear to be recorded on both the Protestant and Roman
Catholic lists, for example:—James Rynehart with 11, James Downey with 18, Abm
Miller with 6, Miles Keegan with 9, Luke Molton with 7 and some others.
Protestant families |
The Protestant families of whom this list is composed are Remarkably
sober, Industrious and well conducted, can procure the Most
satisfactory recommendations and have generally some of their
branches numbers of yoemanry [sic] corps, many of these families
possess considerably more [prospect] than sufficient to remove them
and are fixed in their determination of joining those relatives and
friends who have so happily settled in Upper Canada upon lands
granted by the British Government within these last two years.
Many other Protestant families of most respectable character, tho'
unable to bear the expense of a removal are unsettling themselves
under [this] idea of being assisted with a free passage to British
America and anxiously look forward to being informed if their hopes
on this subject shall be realized. Most of the men of these families
capable of bearing arms in the Rebellion of 1798, were actively
employed in the defence of their country and proved at the risque [sic]
of their lives an unalterable attachment to the Government under which
the[y] enjoyed the blessings of Liberty.

Wexford to this date. Seven-hundred and ten families containing four thousand and
