Great Britain, from Liverpool to Hobson Bay, Vic., to Port Adelaide 16th April 1869       o SS. Penola, ex ship Gresham, from Plymouth to Hobson's Bay, Vic. to Port Adelaide 29th June 1869       o     o Quebec Steamboats       o John Molson - 2nd trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 3rd May 1831       o St. Lawrence - 1st trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 4th May 1831       o Chambly - 3rd trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 7th May 1831       o St. Lawrence - 2nd trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 11th May 1831 The two lists of South Australia arrivals for 1869 are pretty fascinating.  There were no direct lists of assisted emigrants to SA in 1869, instead, emigrants arrived at Port Melbourne, on the vessels named above, and then took coastal steamers to Port Adelaide.  At first we didn't know how the women who had arrived at Melbourne on the Gresham, had gotten to Adelaide, but then I found this ...  thank you Trove !! >> The s.s. Penola, Captain F. P. Snewin, left the Queen's Wharf yesterday morning, for Adelaide, via the intermediate South Australian ports. On reaching the bay she went alongside the immigrant ship Gresham, from London, and took on board a number of single women, who have come out in the Gresham, for Adelaide, via Melbourne << The 1831 Quebec steamboats are coming along very nicely.  After finishing the earlier newspaper issues, I moved back to the beginning of the 1831 steamboats and I must say, I think the 2nd trip of the ST. LAWRENCE has been my most favourite... maybe ever.  It was a little frustrating because rather than numbering the emigrants, the compiler just numbered the lines.  He was however very precise about the passengers with first names of the head, instead of initials, and relationships indicated, like sister-in-law, brother, brother-in-law and even father-in-law.  Because of his numbering, I now have it confirmed that there was NO fare charged for children under 3 years.  This means that if the other lists don't show enough children when someone finds possible ancestors, by reading numbers and the fare, we now know that those lists just don't record the under 3 children at all. Please share this *new* for TheShipsList website email, with any other list to which you belong if you think it might be of interest or value to those list members (in other words, on-topic).
