The voyage of the Wandrahm was horrendous. From a passenger list of 353 statute adults 48 died on the voyage and another 22 when the ship was in quarantine.My Great Grandparents were immigrants and I am searching for anybody that has researched the voyage. I have some information and would be pleased to share such info Thank you Jim Staats

Does or can anyone hazard a guess to how many ships (with names) have plyed the oceans, say from 1700-1900 ? just wondering? Inguireing minds want to know???? Thru the years of ships lists have seen very few repeats for sure. ~Linda~ Willow Creek, CA.

Hi Nan, There was a very famous paddle steamer called GOLDEN AGE in the same waters one year later... http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/descriptions/ShipsG.html ... but I found a little about the barque GOLDEN AGE in the Argus, Monday 20 June 1853, p. 6 Cleared Out June 18- Goldon Age, barque, 298 tons, Francis Stewart, commander, for Adelaide, Cabin passengers, Messrs. Secomb, Gray, Jose, Martin, Mr and Mr.Counsel, Mrs Morris and child, and 34 steerage passengers. I don't see a Joseph Sims from Essex coming "assisted" to Adelaide in 1853 http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/australia/SAassistedindex.htm In the Argus, Friday 18 March 1853, p. 6 ... arriving March 17, barque GOLDEN AGE, 318 tons, Francis Stewart, from Adelaide, 13th inst. ... a few cabin passengers, no Sims listed, although the left side is illegible, and twenty-four steerage. It looks like the GOLDEN AGE was back and forth between Melbourne and Adelaide in this period. You can check the other newspapers here ... http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home .. unfortunately, the South Australian Advertiser just begins with 1858 .. the South Australian Register is in the "coming soon" category.

In 1980, Kenneth Bagnell wrote a book entitled "The Little Immigrants - The Orphans Who Came to Canada". It was published by Macmillan of Canada, a Division of Gage Publishing Limited,Toronto, Canada. ISBN 0-7715-9571-9. The book tells the stories of children who arrived here and the people who sent the children to Canada. There is a section of photographs, as well as an index. Unfortunately, Brownell does not appear in it. johanna hardy _________________________________________________________________ 30 days of prizes: Hotmail makes your day easier!

Hi Looking for information of Bernard Bromell/Brownell travelling from Canada to England. Believed to be known as Barnard Brownell and travelled back to England from Quebec with rich aunt. Unsure of dates. Then a few years later Known as Bernard Bromell ?? travelled to New Zealand. Is any body out there that can help. Cheers Michelle

Thanks Betty. This is great. I had never heard of migrant ships going to Canada - but have heard about the migrant ships going to Australia and New Zealand. Thank You.

At about the age of 3 Bernard Bromell born early 1900 registered in Marylebone, England - parents died at young age. Was sent to Canada. Can any help with ship records to find when this happened and who he sailed with. Cheers Michelle

Hello, I don't remember if this important event has been mentioned on this List recently. So, I'd like to offer some information. There are many researchers on the BHC List, and the majority are descendants of the "Home Children." After many years of trying, we finally got the government in Canada to proclaim: "2010, the Year of the British Home Child." And, we have also been trying for many years to "spread the word," but have been working harder at this this year. We decided to create a "BHC QUILT" and 2 quilts are in the process of being made. And we found out there is a magazine in Canada which concentrates on stories about Canadians, and their history. The editor of the magazine has offered to create a special edition of the magazine which will be a collection of stories submitted by "Home Children" descendants. One reminder is that in the United Kingdom, the children were called "Child Migrants." And between 1860's and 1940's "over 100,000" children were "shipped to Canada." And, thousands more were shipped to Australia, New Zealand, parts of Africa, Malta - wherever there was a British Colony. This "Scheme" even went on in the 1600's and 1700's. http://www.britishhomechildren.org/ Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) P.S. If you are searching for a child or teen that went to Canada 1860's to 1940's, and you can't find out how he or she got there, consider the BHC story. And, young adults in th U.K. could have gotten on the ships with them if there was room.

Hi again, This is the BHC data base I checked: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/home-children/001015-100.01-e.php When you search the data base, there is a wild-card feature. For instance, you can search for a first-name only, or you can search for a ship-name only, or the year. And, you can search for any surname which starts with BRO* for example. If you are not familiar with the "Home Children" story, you can search on-line for either "British Home Children" or "Home Children, Canada." And, you can go to the archives of the British Home Children List and read many of the stories. Perhaps the BROWNELL name has been mentioned before.

Hi Michelle, This sounds like the story of a "British Home Child," so I just checked one of the on-line data bases. I couldn't find the surname Bromell mentioned, so I searched for all children, named Bernard. This is probably the child you are looking for. See below. There were 28 children on the ship with him.

Hello Listers As I've forgotten whether I should post to Mariners or TSL, I'm sending this to both. The "City of Manchester" arrived in Melbourne (Port Phillip), Victoria, Australia on 23 Sep 1851 having left the UK - possibly one port being Plymouth. Would anyone have any information of where in the UK and when this vessel departed on this voyage, please? My ggf was a passenger. Many thanks. Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia

Dear Pat, Could this be your family. "Skews, Thomas. Born 1828. Married Mary Ann Hooper. Children included John (1855) and William (1856). Lived in Mineral Point (Wisconsin) USA in 1870. Was gassed in the Linden Mine Disaster, Mineral Point and died in 1874, aged 46 years 10 months and 3 days." If this is your family then this extract is from a book "Cornish Heritage" by Keith Skues who has researched Skues, Skewes, Skews etc the world over. The book also has an entry for William and John with names of their wives (incomplete) and children etc. It is a treasure trove of information on Skewes families. If you can't get the book then I could copy the pages for you. I purchased my copy from the Country Bookstore UK after doing a search through the Internet. I also emailed Keith and asked him a question back in 2006 on my Skewes research.

Hi List, Many thanks to all who assisted me with my query. The leads and specific information have all been usefull. In fact I've done better than expected as you can tell from the tone of my original message Greatly appreciated. Regards, Allan Bruse

This afternoon List, I am trying to locate relatives who were born in Cornwall, the man was a miner named Thomas Skews B:1828 his wife, Mary Ann Skews B:1830 also in Cornwall and their two sons. John Skews B:1855, William Skews B:1857. On U.S. Census return of 1870, this family were at home in Waldwick, Iowa county, Wisconsin and it is noted there that arrival in this Country was 1866. I have been unable so far to find head nor hair of the family on any passenger list. It is making me pull my hair out!!!! Please, if anyone out there is able to assist me, I would be ever so grateful. I believe that is possible that an Ancestory.com passenger list may be my Thomas Skews. Though it is listed as Mrs. Thos Skews. Age 30, birth year 1827, gender: male, Race: English, Departure: Bremen, Germany and Southampton, England, Port of arrival: New York and ship name: JASON 23, October 1857. Thomas had a Sister who had made the trip about 1850 with her husband and family. John Pearce Rowe and Jemima Lavinia (Skews) Rowe. I think Thomas may have sailed to the U. S. to visit his Sister whom he loved and to scout out a job and home around Mineral City, Wisconsin. >From there, I am stuck in the mud. HELP! Thanking each of you in advance.

Hello Listers I have just found a John GRICE arrived per Gilmore, Hobart 1832; I have a feeling that he may have had a wife with him. I have been trying to find details of the passenger list of this ship and while I have not yet found this information I have a feeling while reading other information about the Gilmore that there may have been convicts on board as well as paying passengers. Is anyone researching the name GRICE or the ship Gilmore that arrived Hobart 22 March 1832? Any help much appreciated. Jenny
