Dear Listers I am hoping that the skills and resourcefulness of the Group members will be able to help me track down the ship in which the COMLEY family arrived in Adelaide between May 1883 and November 1884. I have seen advice given on other States but not for SA. Are there any indexes to such a situation, please? The full family comprised, Charles Albert COMLEY (Head) Sarah Ann, his wife Charles Herbert aged 10-11, his son Reginald aged 7-8, son Ida Emily aged 5-6, daughter Edith May, aged 0-1, daughter In hope ...

Not sure if this helps but from the website - http://www.escapeartist.com/efam18/Vanuatu.html ".....Some estimates are that the population of the approximately 83 major islands in this group, totaling about 4,700 square miles, was as many as a million people before the Europeans came in earnest in the early 1800's in search of four things: sandalwood (a rare sweet smelling wood popular with the Chinese as incense), beche-la-mer (or sea slugs, a very tasty and expensive delicacy, also traded with the Chinese), cheap labor (or blackbirding, where natives were rounded up for use on plantations), and conversion to Christianity. The net result, because of diseases against which the indigenous people had no defense, was the population collapsed to a low of about 40,000 by the 1930's. It's now about 175,000. Each of the islands had, and still has, a distinct culture...." -----Original Message----- From: Leanne Baulch [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2005 9:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [AUS-IMM-SHIPS] What type of voyage?

Would some one be able to find information on the 'Golden South' arriving in Qld around 1850's. John George WALKER, a ship builder, is supposed to have arrived in Maryborough Qld on this ship. May have come from Tasmania or Hunter River area. Also Sydney arrival please His father James Davenport WALKER arrived free 1834 with family "Ballum Bahn". What is available on this ship? She was not a convict ship. Regards Meg
