Hope some hope SKS can help me find information on the 'Golden Age" Looking for Joseph Simms b.1833 from Essex Arrived in Colony in 1853 Interested to find details of trip March 12 1853 from Adelaide S.A.Baque Golden Age From Nan

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.
