    1. [TSL] The "Boston" 1860 to Australia
    2. Janice Doughty
    3. Good morning Listers, First I wish to thank everyone who assisted me with regards to the arrival of the "Demosthenes" in Brisbane in Oct 1911. Your information and suggestions were very much appreciated. Also, with regards to the mystery of the incorrect age of Barbara Irene Hudson, the child of Richard and Jessie Hudson, it was suggested and mostly likely correct, that the Hudsons' passage was probably booked in Feb 1911 and at that time Barbara would have been 9 months old. Mystery solved. However, I have another mystery to be solved. I am helping a friend who is researching George King (born 08.12.1840 in County Essex), who is supposed to have arrived in the Colony around 1860, on board the sailing ship the "Boston". However, I cannot find the arrival of any ship called the "Boston". George King married Harriet Quince in 1870 in Binda. George King is remembered for building the Old Flour Mill and the Binda Mill Cottage around 1899. George died in 1900 before the Mill was completed. The Mill and cottage have been recently restored and it is now a B & B in Binda. Regards, Janice Belrose - Sydney
