Aaaghh - gremlins. In the message below I meant 1849, not 1949. Thanks John Seamons -----Original Message----- From: John Seamons [mailto:jseamons@bigpond.net.au] Sent: Tuesday, 16 April 2002 11:18 PM To: AUS-IMMIGRATION-SHIPS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [AUS-IMM-SHIPS] ORATOR Records Importance: High Further to an earlier request, I am advised, but with no substantiation, that John SEAMONS, wife Anna Maria, and son James, arrived in South Australia from England on the ship "Orator" on October 2nd 1949. I am aware that a further SEAMONS family (Edmund, Mary and children) arrived on that ship at that time, and do have records, including letters, to confirm this. Could sks who may have access to the shipping records for Sth Australian arrivals, please confirm if John, Anna and James were in fact on the same ship?
