Hi Dennis, There is only one mention of the "Gipsy Bride" in the book. This is from the log of the "Lightning" returning to Liverpool from Melbourne and the entry states: 13 April 1855 "Passed through Bass Straits. Gipsy Bride and other vessels in company". Sorry there is not more.

You will be lucky to get a photo from 1858. There is a web site that has details of the old ships and sometimes drawings. Try: www.Aberdeen ships.com if it was Scottish. Or simply put the name "Gypsey Bride" (note inverted commas) in a search site and see what comes up. There is another Brit site for Ships but I have not noted its address. Again , use a search site and type in "Clipper ships".

To his sorrowing connexions he ever proved a watchful guardian, and a loving relative; for whose loss nothing can give them consolation, but the confident and holy hope that the resignation with which he gave up his soul into the hands of his Creator may be looked upon as an assurance that he is admitted into the realms of everlasting bliss.

G. HOME John STEIN Edw. EAGAR Joint Trustees Cape Town, 11th August 1842 Thursday 25 August 1842 BIRTH on the 20th inst, at Double Drift, the Lady of Capt. T. Percival TOUZEL, 27th Regiment, of a son. Daring Burglary A daring robbery was committed on the premises of Mr. W. KIDSON, wine merchant of this town, on Saturday night last. The store was forcibly entered, a part of the lock of the door having been wrenched off. A pane of glass was also found broken, and the fastening of the window withdrawn. Two cash boxes were missed, a wooden one, which was without a lock, and a tin one. The former contained about £2 in cash, and a Commissariat draft for £1 5s. The latter, which had been locked on Saturday evening, contained a quantity of promissory notes, amounting, as we hear, to upwards of £2,000, besides receipts &c, sundry other little articles. The wooden box was afterwards found empty in a cart that was standing in the yard belonging to the premises. Two men are in custody on suspicion – a Hottentot named Klaas DAVIS, in the employ of Mr. KIDSON, and Jacob LINGFIELD, a lad of color, formerly employed on the premises. After DAVIS was apprehended to took Mr. KIDSON to a bush near Fort England, where he found the tin box. DAVIS stated that Jacob had told him that he had put it there. A pair of shoes stolen from Mr. KIDSON were found near the premises, which a Hottentot woman states having seen DAVIS wear. On comparing the shoes with some marks on the wall below the broken window, the toe of the left shoe was found to correspond with the left-hand mark. We are glad to state that nearly all the promissory notes, documents &c were found to be in the tin cash box. A gold ring which was in it was not taken. The affair is still under investigation. Billiard and Coffee Rooms and Cigar Divan Opposite the Late Government House Mr. Henry L. DAVIS begs most respectfully to inform his Friends and the Public in general that he has opened his Establishment as a Billiard and Coffee Room and Cigar Divan, where Gentlemen can be provided with Tiffins, Coffee, Suppers &c. Mr. D hopes that by unremitting attention to the comforts of his Visitors, to merit a portion of their patronage. NB the Billiard Table is Slate, with Indian Rubber Cushions, and one of the most costly in the colony. Thursday 1 September 1842 Emigration We are happy to inform our readers that active endeavours are now being made to raise a fund for the promotion of emigration to this end of the colony from the parent state; and we think, from the spirit with which the matter has been taken up, and the measures that have been and will be adopted, that a reasonable hope of success may be entertained. The following sums were subscribed within a few hours. We recommend our friends in the country to do likewise. Lists are lying for signature at the office of Mr. ROBERTS, Solicitor, and Mr. E.R. BELL, General Agent, Bathurst-street. Charles GRIFFITH £50 Henry NOURSE £50 Messrs. MAYNARD £50 R. DANIEL £50 Messrs. DAMANT & ATHERSTONE £50 R. GODLONTON £20 W. STANTON Jun £20 Jas. MILLDENHALL £10 Joshua D. NORDEN £20 W. OGILVIE £20 J. HOWSE £20 J. BLACK £20 W. KIDSON £20 Wm. SIMPSON £20 Richard ROBERTS £10 Wm.G. ATHERSTONE MD £15 Thursday 8 September 1842 MARRIED in the Wesleyan Chapel, Graham’s Town, the 5th August, by the Rev Thornley Smith, Mr. James GORRIE to Miss Jane Elizabeth Ablort MORGAN. MARRIED on the 1st inst, at the Tyumie, by the Rev James Read Sen, Class LOVE to Meilje CHARLES. Thursday 15 September 1842 With deep regret we announce that Lieut. W. LOWEN C.M.R. died yesterday evening at Bathurst, after a short illness, of inflammation of the brain, brought on, it is supposed, by excitement, exposure to the sun, and hard riding. Being at an outpost he received, it appears, a summons to repair at Graham’s Town without delay, and under the impression that his mother was on the point of death, he made such speed as to disable his horse. He subsequently went to Bathurst to see his mother and one of his brothers who was lying there on a bed of sickness, where he was shortly after taken ill. Thursday 22 September 1842 DIED on the evening of the 14th inst, at Bathurst, of inflammation of the brain, Lieut. Wellington Star LOWEN of the Cape Mounted Rifles, aged 28 years – an officer of great promise, who had deservedly gained the esteem and affection of his brother officers, by whom his loss is deeply felt and deplored, as it is by all who had enjoyed the pleasure of his acquaintance. Sept 19, 1842. Thursday 29 September 1842 We are sorry to state that from various quarters we have heard distressing accounts of the state of the crops, owing to the long and protracted drought. The waters of the Fish River do not flow beyond Cradock. We are informed by a gentleman residing between Graaff-Reinet and Cradock, who lately arrived in Graham’s Town, that during the entire distance (150 miles) he did not see a single healthy crop. But the failure, we are glad to hear, will not be general. In some parts, particularly along the sea-coast, the crops are likely to arrive at maturity.
