John, if possible I also would love a copy, hopefully, and with Thanks, Chris in W.Aust. -----Original Message----- From: John Keynes via Sent: Friday, May 6, 2016 10:59 AM To: SA Mailing List Subject: [AUS-SAGEN] 1851 Emigration Listers, In going through some old papers, I came across one by British historian Mark Baker, edited in 1974. The title was: "FROM WILTSHIRE TO AUSTRALIA 1851 THE STORY OF AN EMIGRATION" and the article is some 20 (A4-size) pages long. If interested, I can send a copy as an attachment to email; file is 45 KB. Adobe reader will be needed as the file is in .pdf format. The following is an extract from the article: ".....those coming from the Salisbury area, of whom there were quite a few, must have had to plan well ahead; for A360 was not a turnpike road, and the going would have been slower. The last party to leave, in June, was delayed at Exeter for 2 1/2 hours by the large number of excursion trains taking people from the west country to London and back for the Great Exhibition. The station-master produced some food, and they were well looked after; but it seems ironical that agricultural labourers and their families should have been held up on their way out of the country to escape poverty and unemployment by crowds of excursionists who could afford to pay for the return journey to London to see the wonders of Victorian technology.,,,,," John Keynes, Salisbury Heights, S.A. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 13445 (20160505) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com AUS-SAGEN Archives are here: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/AUS-SAGEN/ Websites of Interest on our Blog: http://aus-sagen-genealogy-websites.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to AUS-SAGEN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
