There was virtually no Irish Immigration in the 18th Century. During the 19th Century the Irish emigrated to many countries because of the depression and lack of opportunity in Ireland, accentuated by the potato famine mid-century. The real numbers were masked by a transportation quirk. Irish would catch the pig boats which plied from Wexford to London, and en route transfer to an immigrant ship in Portsmouth, and so were often recorded as English.
