Hi Marg, Is it possible to find out about the Talavera 1853 Sydney NSW - quarantined (because of mumps/measles) for several weeks? My English GGG-Grandmother Johanna Sutton and 4 children arrived on this ship on 6th September 1853. I have the list of passengers which includes my ancestors' names, ages etc, but would love to find extra info relating to the quarantining of this ship. Thank you for any help or direction you may be able to send my way, Kind regards Jann -----Original Message----- From: aus-immigration-ships-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:aus-immigration-ships-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Melissa Skinner Sent: Thursday, 16 August 2007 3:45 PM To: aus-immigration-ships@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [AUS-IMM-SHIPS] Amelia Thompson Quarantined 1838- Info on Hello MargM Thanks heaps, another piece of the puzzle.
