My great grandmother Elizabeth Libertus ENGLISH was born on board the barque "Libertas" in 1855 during her family's emigration to Australia. The ship departed London on 8 March and arrived on 28 June in Newcastle. Elizabeth's family settled in Maitland for six or seven years before relocating to Sydney. As you can see the family must have had a memorable trip to have given their new daughter such a middle name, though they did alter the spelling slightly, and much to my mother's embarassment she inherited "Libertus" as a middle name. Thank you again for your kind offer to the list.

Many years ago I was given a copy of a letter written by William Wilson to his parents in England. The letter is dated January 6th 1855 and recounts his voyage to Australia. The address he gives is the Maitland Hotel, Maitland. William was a stone mason and I think that he was the same William, aged 25, who came over on the Kate in 1854. If the letter would be of interest to anyone I would be pleased to forward a copy.
