Thread Name: Origin: Lament of the Irish Emigrant (Dufferin?)
Subject: RE: Lady Dufferin?
To the best of my knowledge Helen Selina, Lady Dufferin (1807-1867) did indeed write the words. Any reason to believe otherwise?

Regards

p.s. Incidentally, she was a grandaughter of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, the playwright.
