Personal Information | Media | Sources | All | PDF

Name	Bridget Wall
Birth	c1860	Galway, Ireland [1, 2]
Gender	Female
Emigration	17 Mar 1874	London, England [3, 4]
	Bridget, accompanied by her sister Margaret, sailed aboard the "Agra" bound for Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia.
		Immigrant Ship Agra - Departure London, England The Immigrant Ship Agra departed London, England, 17 March 1874 bound for Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia. This notice was published in the London Daily News Newspaper, 18 March 1874, page 7, under shipping Intelligence.

Immigration	11 Jul 1874	Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia [5, 6, 7, 8]
	Bridget and Margaret Wall arrived at Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia aboard the ship "Agra". They were assisted immigrants, which means, they were required to work where directed, in the state of Queensland. I would assume, they would have worked their two years in the Rockhampton Area as domestic servants.
	The date on the passenger list is incorrect. The document records the arrival date at Rockhampton as the 11 June 1874. The vessel actually arrived 11 July 1874. The attached newspaper articles record the correct date. I spoke with Queensland State Archives about this and they were aware of the error. I was advised that the state archives were inundated with water during the floods in the 1890s and a lot of records were water damaged and these records were recopied and numerous errors exist in them. the Archivist told me they are unable to alter the dates on the records as they are historical documents.
