Hi Listers, As promised earlier, I will now briefly describe the facts and unproved facts about my Great Grandfather, William John Horne.

FACT William John Horne was bapt 7 Jan 1834 St Pancras Old Church, child of Swithin Horne (Master Butcher) & Eliza Horne (nee Matthews - d James & Sarah Matthews). 1841 Still no luck on this one. He would have been aged 7. Definitely not with 2 older brothers at school in Portman Place. 1851 I am presuming he may have been on a boat, aged 17, at this time. UNPROVED BUT LOOKING VERY MUCH LIKE OUR GUY 1853 The arrival of the "Wellington" at Pt Phillip on 2 January 1853.

I guess you've looked at the trees on ancestry which provide his arrival on a boat into NSW, they are under public trees, a jubilee...... have you tried to find him with his father called Swithin Horne at all...

Thanks Jenelle, I have contacted that one before, but could not find it again just then. I did not think that there was anything about shipping before or I could have missed it. Thanks for reminding me.

Hi Anne Not much info for you, except that he was on the passenger list, so was not crew at that particular time. "The Wellington," Geo Browne, master, sailed London 10 Sept 1852. Arrived Port Phillip 2 Jan 1853. HORNE Wm 19 mariner, bound for Port Phillip. Hope this is of some help. Cheers Graham Melbourne Oz
