Bounty Ships Scheme to Australia
http://keithdash.net/Ships/Brilliantmain.pdf 
​
Bounty System
With increasing prosperity in Australia, came a growing demand for skilled labour and the Government responded to this need by introducing a number of assisted immigration schemes from 1832 onwards. The first of the assisted migration schemes began in 1832 when eight single women and eight mechanics and their families left England aboard the "Marianne".  Each single woman received a bounty of £8 and each mechanic was advanced £20 against his future wages. 
From 1832 to 1835, 3074 people received assistance at a cost to the colony of £31,028-6-9.  They were selected and ships chartered for them by Emigration Commissioners in the United Kingdom & during the voyage they were in the charge of the ship's master.

Female Migration to Australia
Female migration to Australia commenced under the Emigration Commission of 1831-1832. The Commissioners assisted hundreds of women to migrate & in 1832 despatched two ships whose only passengers were female emigrants: the Red Rover from Cork to Sydney and the Princess Royal from London to Hobart.

Why Leave Home in England?
The life of the average English rural worker was extremely harsh, with little income, a poor quality of housing, no access to education, and no prospects of improvement for either himself or his children. For many, emigration to either Australia, North America or South Africa, was their only means of bettering their lot in life. Until the 1830's, however, emigration was actively discouraged by the government, as men were required for the American and European wars of the late eighteenth & early nineteenth centuries. It was also considered that any loss of manpower would drastically weaken the English economy.
