Hi Megan,
Have just read your message. Yes there is a relatively large entry for Ellen(from Dungarvan in Waterford do James Fitzgerald and Ann Carey) in vol 2 of "Barefoot" p 387. She first married Henry Biggs in 1851 and later, John King in Ballarat in 1868. Included in the documents section of Barefoot is a little book written by one of her ancestors in WW11. There's also the names of a couple of people researeching her. The Isbn of "barefoot' is 0949672513 and can be purchased from the genealogical society of victoria. There's a monument to the Irish orphan girls at Burgoyne PArk in Williamstown and at the hyde park barracks in sydney. See also, www.irishfaminememorial.org.
hope this helps
