Canadian immigration 1840s, families and orphans
This database involves handwriting which can be subject to interpretation and often forenames were abbreviated, so using the provided search engine is best done using multiple versions of any one person's name. The resulting links go directly to page images, where you can decide for yourself what the listing states. Below is an example, plus portions of Buchanan's reports with statistics.

Hope this can provide a way to fill in gaps in your family histories. Happy New Year to us all, which on this Forum means the 839 of us who are Clare history enthusiasts.
