Hi all I was looking for some information yesterday on the amount of baggage an emigrant could take with them when emigrating I had an itemised list of clothing etc at one time but can't find it now two computers later In the process I found some interesting books which give a lot of interesting data on emigrants to Australia amongst other places Go to www.archive.org select Texts Enter the words Emigrants Handbook There are several on their giving a variety of useful information on conditions, regulations, costs etc If anyone happens to have an itemised list I would be interested to see one, the one I had stipulated 2 vests, 2 petticoats, 1 overcoat that sort of thing and I think it dated to around 1850 -- Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK)
