Hi Thank you for the emails addressed to me or my comments. No more, thanks! It would be really nice if we could get back to helping one another now. So then, who will try to help me with my research on the voyage and passengers of the Erin-go-Bragh in 1862 please? Yep, they were mostly IRISH, but what's wrong with my asking our GERMANs? My husband is more or less half and half and most of you are too (I think):-) Cheers Bev kerlindavidbev@ozemail.com.au Researching (all to South East Queensland): CANTLE/BARNETT Gloucestershire England COURTNEY/DALTON Camberwell England GIESEMANN/TIMM Niedersachsen Prussia HANSEN/HENRICKSEN/etc Vends Herred Amt Odense Denmark HARRISON/WILLIS Co Armagh Northern Ireland KERLIN/BELL Co Down Northern Ireland YOUNG/YOUNGS/BARKER Norfolk England

Hi Bev You still having trouble with the 'Erin-go-Bragh' passengers? I read in one of the local Family History Books that when the ship was due to arrive, a lot of the unmarried men headed down to the wharf from this area. The comment stuck as I read something along the lines: One bachelor commented, "no not her" and his mate promptly said "Well, if you do not want her, I certainly do" upon which he made himself known to the lass and was shortly happily married. The book referrred to the ship (do not know which trip, if more then one) as the 'bride ship' so I guess there were a lot of unmarried females on board. The Germans and the Irish are so well inter-married in the Lockyer I would not be surprised to find that some-one's ancestor arrived on that ship. Does anyone have ancestors from any of the "Erin-go-Bragh" voyages??

Hi Lorrae, Have any of you checked the books 'Log of Logs' vols. 1, 2, 3, for the Erin-go-Bragh. These books will inform you as to any further logs or journals associated with the voyages of this and many more ships. There are often Surgeon's Journals, journals of the voyage written by passengers etc. Bit like a bible of ships journeys to Australia. Regards Jenny Jenny Myers Arcadia Vale NSW Australia
