Hi all, Hope someone out there can tell me how to access accounts of the following voyages: *The Guildford, 1824- Convict Joseph Shepherd, from England, *Formosa, arriving NSW 4/7/1840- William & Cicelia Carruthers and son John. Free settlers from England. *George Fyfe, arriving NSW 23/1/1840- Donald & Margaret McInnes and 9 children, assisted passage/free settlers?? from Scotland. I would be grateful for any assistance. Frances Wilson.

Hi The newspapers of the day would most likely have an account of the voyage. Most newspapers are on Microfilm at the libraries Regards Pennie Queensland Shippin http://maryborough.50megs.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Dennis Wilson <dfwilson@idl.com.au> To: <AUS-IMMIGRATION-SHIPS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 9:46 PM Subject: Voyages of Interest > Hi all, > Hope someone out there can tell me how to access accounts of the following voyages: > *The Guildford, 1824- > Convict Joseph Shepherd, from England, > *Formosa, arriving NSW 4/7/1840- > William & Cicelia Carruthers and son John. > Free settlers from England. > *George Fyfe, arriving NSW 23/1/1840- > Donald & Margaret McInnes and 9 children, > assisted passage/free settlers?? from Scotland. > I would be grateful for any assistance. > Frances Wilson. > > > ============================== > Join the RootsWeb WorldConnect Project: > Linking the world, one GEDCOM at a time. > http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com > >

Could be a ref to this ship in any of the 3 vols of the ' Log of Logs' books. Also in the NSW Colonial Secretaries Correspondence indexes ( on fiche) . Could be a ref in the Sydney Gazette newspaper ( on film at the Mitchell/State Libraries, Sydney ) Check the AGCP films of the UK PRO records , also at the Mitchell See if hes been claimed on www.users.bigpond.net.au/convicts > *Formosa, arriving NSW 4/7/1840- > William & Cicelia Carruthers and son John. > Free settlers from England. > *George Fyfe, arriving NSW 23/1/1840- > Donald & Margaret McInnes and 9 children, > assisted passage/free settlers?? from Scotland. You would need to check NSW State Records films of passenger lists 1828 -43........ There are indexes for these on film too in many libraries as you need to find the film # Also check film of the Sydney Morning Herald for a few days after after the arrival dates Some other State/ larger Libraries could also have some/most of this info bye Marg Morters Member of Central Coast Family History Society GOSFORD NSW Australia
