I have been trying to find the arrival of James and Mary Calver to Australia. Their children Walter, Laura and Jane arrived per the "Jumna" in Qld in 1889.I have found no record of James and Mary arriving in Qld. I have been told they were puppeteers and may have come from China to Australia and then sent for the children. I imagine they arrived here between 1885-1889. Any help would be appreciated. regards Liz [email protected]

One that took a while was immigration which didnt happen till the mid 1920's So any passenger arrival record would be with the State Archives of which ever State these people went to Bye MargM Beautiful Central Coast of NSW

Hi Listers I'm hoping someone can help with finding details on the immigration of (James) Ernest LOVELL b1867 who left Ashwick, Somerset some time between 1885 and 1889. The rest of his family stayed in Somerset and he married in Melbourne March 1889. His bride was from Bundaberg Qld and was 6 months pregnant so he may have spent time in Qld before arriving in Melbourne although the wedding certificate shows his normal address as West Melbourne. Any help very gratefully received Lyn, Melbourne

Hi everyone i was wondering if anyone had a listing of a Catherine M. Steadman who arrived here between 1840 and 1875. I'm sorry the information is so vague, i've just found her surname and i'm hoping that the unusualness of her name will help track her down. Terri

Hi Lynne, Sorry it took me so long to reply. Thanks for the info you sent. Now I know there were at least 2 Thomas Gibsons who were ship captains. My fellow supposedly died in 1852 so none of these would be him. Still, it's helpful to have this info as it can help rule out any earlier references to them I might come across. Best wishes, Katrina

Hello, Denyse - cannot supply you with any other info aside from what I have already suggested. If you have not got access to the book, tell me and I'll photocopy and send those two pages to you (address please). Are you associated with James Cook University? Somewhere there is Lisl Mathew, a lady of mature years who like me taught English on board ships and in camps etc etc. Lisl might be a great help to you! She was still teaching German last Christmas... possibly Extension Classes - I don't really know.

Thank you Lois & Leeanne, I'm the editor of our local German Australian Club magazine & in the next issue I'm doing a story on the voyages aboard the Skaubryn by several of our members. I wondered how many voyages she made between 1951-1958 & the arrival dates because each of these people came on different voyages. Regards, Denyse Bonney in Townsville, Qld

Thought I had to give my two-bits worth on the Skaubryn. I travelled to England on this ship in early 1957, boarding at Sydney in April or May. We had to travel via the Cape as the Suez Canal was closed at that time due to troubles between Egypt and England. Disappointment No. 1. Horribly seasick. We lost engine power crossing the Indian Ocean more than once. Entering Table Bay we were grounded on a sandbank and lost 12 hours shore stay. The one highlight of the trip was our overnight stay in the Canary Islands. We were supposed to dock at London but due a strike had to disembark at Bournemouth or Plymouth. A memorable trip in more ways than one. I was not surprised when I heard that she had caught fire and sunk in the Indian Ocean soon after. One saving factor - the food and service was excellent.

Denise, Skaubryn departed Bremerhaven 23.5.1951, on her maiden voyage, discharging her migrants 25 June at Mebourne. She returned empty to Bremerhafen, and most future voyages terminated at Sydney. Most of her voyages were to bring migrants to Australia. On the voyage beginning 14.3.1958, a fire broke out while she was crossing the Indian Ocean. Passengers were transferred to other vessels - despite strong efforts, she sank on 6 April. see Peter Plowman: Emigrant ships to luxury liners, pp.146-147 for two photos of Skaubryn and more details of her "career". There are passing rferences to Skaubryn in my own book on adult migrant education. I do not hold arrival data, but you could obtain it from National Archives of Australia, in Canberra, who hold the passenger lists.

Could anyone tell me the arrival dates of all the voyages the Skaubryn made to Australia, please? (They were all between 1950-1958) Thanks, Denyse Bonney in Townsville, Qld
