SHIPS PASSENGER LISTS TO CANADA
Ship Elizabeth from Cork Ireland to QuebecJournal of the Transport Ship Elizabeth between 4 May 1825 & 21st July 1825 during which time the said ship has been employed in conveying the Irish Emigrant Settlers from Cork to Quebec.This journal is 55 pages of detailed notes on each of the 21 Irish passengers Surgeon Power treated. I have extracted the names, ages, dates of admission, whether the patient died or recovered and a few notes for some patients. Most patients have their illnesses noted in detail, along with medicines given, reaction of patient and other data. It was quite distressing to read the surgeon's detailed accounts of their suffering, especially for the children. I have not included any such details in this extraction. It was very interesting reading the common medical treatments of the time, and also reading brief notes about conditions on board ship, food, accomodation etc.

Trickley; Mary Ann; 27; May-27; Recovered A total of 4 Irish Emigrants died of the 210 passengers on board. 2/3 had bowel problems, 18 had whooping cough. The Surgeon's Journal reflects only the more serious cases but he notes that approximately 2/3 of the passengers needed medical attention at some point. Surgeon Powell noted that this was the "most harrassing and disagreeable" duty he'd ever undertaken and the job of "preserving order and cleanliness amongst them was great beyond description". He continues "They would not or could not help themselves" and complains that he was overburdened by his duties. He explains that the "Madigans brought fever on to the ship" and thus his job was made even more difficult as he had to attempt to keep them apart from the rest of the passengers. States that whenever the weather permitted, the immigrants were ordered to take their meals on deck but "it was no easy task to enforce obedience..." Please see Sue Swiggum's Peter Robinson Settlers from Cork to Canada 1823 & 1825 for a list of passengers compiled from 2 National Archives of Canada microfilm. A comparison of names and details can be made with this list from the Surgeon's Log. As an example the ""Mrs. Nagle age 58"" on the Surgeon's list, having died on 20th July, is not on Sue's list unless she is 40 year old Catherine Nagle. You should also view Olive Tree Genealogy's Ships Passenger List for Elizabeth and compare names from that list, which used a completely different source.
