Hi, both of you,
Each of you were looking for someone making the voyage to Australia.

The ELGIN, left Liverpool 17th May 1849, and Plymouth 1st June and arrived at Port Adelaide 1o Sept 1849. There were 221 female orphans on board.

Margaret Ford is listed: age 16, Irish orphan.
And...Ellen Powell, Irish orphan, is there as well.

If you do a google for: Ships Passenger Lists, ELGIN, UK to Port Adelaide, 1849, you will get passengers names,
but this is a typed version of the original, and all it gives is the name and age. When you type in the above, a list of sites comes up. I think the two best ones to look at are the one at the very top, and the one third from the top.

You will find the names of many Irish orphan children on this list. Hope this is what you wanted,

Brian, Glasgow
