A Woman Evicted From Her Home

The Sketch of a Woman and Children represents Bridget O'Donnel. Her story is briefly this:-- “...we were put out last November; we owed some rent....they commenced knocking down the house. I was carried into a cabin, and lay there for eight days, when I had the creature (the child) born dead. The whole of my family got the fever, and one boy thirteen years old died with want and with hunger while we were lying sick.” The Sketch of a Woman and Children represents Bridget O'Donnel. Her story is briefly this:-- “...we were put out last November; we owed some rent....they commenced knocking down the house. I was carried into a cabin, and lay there for eight days, when I had the creature (the child) born dead. The whole of my family got the fever, and one boy thirteen years old died with want and with hunger while we were lying sick.”

Eviction & search for shelter Eviction & search for shelter

"'I started from Skibbereen and came to Clonakilty, in the vast number of famished poor, who flocked around the coach to beg was a woman carrying in her arms the corpse of a fine child, and making the most distressing appeal to the passengers for aid to enable her to purchase a coffin and bury her dear little baby. I learned from the people that each day brings dozens of such applicants into the town."

In 1841 the population of Ireland was 8.5 million people. By 1850, at least one million died in terrible conditions.

Another million emigrated as refugees.
