Hi Sheelagh, I know we have chatted about this William Chandler before. I found the passenger list for "HIMALAYA" arr 17.11.1849 and the Chandler family are listed as from Kent I went to FreeBMD but couldnt find a marriage for Matilda Dyke, altho there were several William Chandlers. [the nearest being in 1886 for a William and Matilda] Also found a Jane born 1841 Gravesend [Dist] V5 P178 William in Eastry [Dist] V5 Page 147 and Alfred in Eastry [Dist] V5 P:156 There was no entry matching for Arthur [eg 1 yr old, b/c 1848] and its possible he was born in other than Kent as the ship left from London. You may have this info, let me know if I can help further. This info doesn't match our William Chandler who married Maria Macklin.
