Trying to Locate What Happened to the Irish Girls Who Were Sent to the Willunga Women S Depot IN July 1855
Thirty nine girls were sent to Willunga. I have the names of seven of the girls.

Thank you for your response. I have a copy of the Servants Depots in colonial South Australia and the Flinders Ranges Research. Unfortunately neither of the documents gives any light as to what happened to them afterwards nor the names of any other of the other 39 girls. I am a member of the National Trust at the Willunga Court House where the girls were sent and their research library has no recording. It is to improve their library that I am seeking assistance. I am aware that one girl Maria Hughes married a local gentleman named Hart and lived in Aldinga. I have possible traces on three other girls, but need comfirmation. Thank you Sandy
