The O'Dwyer Transportation Records

The following is a list of the 162 records at the National Archives of Ireland containing references to Dwyers/O'Dwyers transported to Australia for crimes committed in Ireland. The penalties imposed in many cases were extremely harsh by modern standards, as evidenced by the case of young Hugh Dwyer (Record 20 below), aged 14, convicted in 1842 to 7 years Transportation for the theft of sacks! Or the case of Alice Dwyer (Record 3) sentenced in 1838 to 7 years Transportation, later commuted to 1 year in jail, for the theft of a pair of shoes!

The most famous record, of course, relates to Michael Dwyer, the Wicklow Chief, (Record 158), who was transported, not as a convict, but 'upon the mercy of government' following his surrender in 1803. He viewed this as a betrayal of his surrender conditions, claiming that he had been given assurances that he would be sent as a free man to America. He never saw his native Wicklow again, once he sailed on the Tellicherry in 1806. His family descendants still live in Australia. [A word of warning to researchers - there are 13 other records of "Michael Dwyers", so care must be taken in proving descent from the Chief]. Note also his father's record, John Dwyer (Record 133).

"Transportation" was a euphemism for banishment into exile, or even death, due to the long and hazardous sea voyage to a colony which, particularly in the early years, had insufficient food to feed its people. For a brief historical background to the topic, see "Sources in the National Archives for research into the transportation of Irish convicts to Australia (1791-1853)".
