*new* for TheShipsList website http://www.theshipslist.com/ All the new and updated files and databases have been placed on their own page(s) Find them on the front page in between the big arrows --------------> <--------------- At the bottom of each of these pages I have placed links named " previous month " and " next month " so you are able to navigate back and forth between the monthly *new & updated* pages, as I only keep three months of *new* page links on the Home page. New for October 2010 is . . . o Passengers Steamboats: o Chambly - 1st trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 25th May 1832 o Chambly - 2nd trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 30th May 1832 o Chambly - 3rd trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 5th June 1832 . . nearly 525 passengers These are the first CHAMBLY steamboat passenger lists for 1832. So far, I am really pleased with the Chambly lists .. 368 passengers on the 1st trip, 230 on the 2nd trip and nearly 525 on the 3rd. 1832 was a really huge emigration year, with 66,339 emigrants from UK to British North America (Canada) and 32,872 emigrants from UK to the United States. (many of those 66,000 to Canada continued into the US after landing at Quebec). It is too bad their are only TWO surviving steamboat lists for 1832. The season was really late, with the first ships arriving May 4th (versus April 16 in 1831) o Arrivals: o Ships to Quebec 1832 (in progress) It was with much delight that I now have the 1832 newspapers. I had earlier learned of a blog out an individual's ancestor who had emigrated from Whitby on the Columbia which arrived at Quebec on May 27th ; I found them on the 2nd Chambly trip, May 30th. I added links to the blog and to the arrival of the Columbia. Also on the 2nd Chambly trip, several passengers had their passage paid by "Capt. Younger," who I found sailed from Leven, Fifeshire on the Urania, which also arrived May 27th, so I added a link to that arrival (plus links from the ships' arrivals back to the steamboat). As I transcribed that newspaper issue I learned that a surgeon and his wife, from Whitby, had lost three of their young children on passage to Quebec. They buried their children at Quebec on May 25th and they an their other children were also aboard 2nd Chambly trip. It was easy to research that family ... John Mewburn, MD 1788 - 1861 & Henrietta Chilton 1786 - 1876 ..... and their children. (their arrival vessel is unknown) I don't think I've ever had so many links from/to any one single steamboat list before. There are another three web pages to be added to the 1832 newspapers, so I hope I find other great connections to the passengers. The first of the Petworth Emigrants arrive in 1832, with the Eveline arriving May 28th.
