Hallo from the "Far North Tropical Coast" (Lat 17.5s Long 146.1e) Hi to All, I am seeking info please, on when and what ship the following family might have arrived on. Probably from Scotland to New South Wales in the period 1842-1861. SHIELL Margaret Foord; Elspeth Trotter, George Patterson; Janet Abbey; William Trotter. Parents were George Shiell and Margaret Abbey. George Shiell apparently worked as a warden in a prison in NSW before the family departed by bullock waggon for South Australia. They had arrived in that State by 1862. Any detail or referrals would be appreciated. Find your facts and count your blessings Dean Newman, North Queensland Australia.
