From 1847 to 1856, Lord Fitzwilliam arranged 'assisted passages' to Canada for 6,000 men, women and children from his 80,000 acre Coolattin Estate in Wicklow. Most were destitute on arrival in Quebec and New Brunswick. Despite good intentions there were terrible misunderstandings. This book describes the clearances and how some of the families got on in Canada.
