Hi Deirdre, Did you find his partial bio on "Australian Medical Pioneers?" http://www.medicalpioneers.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi?detail=1&id=1580 (they have a typo in the ship name) I'd noticed that they mentioned :: Index to unassisted passengers 1826-1853 :: but the only place I could find any mention of that was on Ancestry. I didn't find an actual regular passenger list but more like a Report for the Colonial Secretary of an arrived vessel, with cabin passengers named, but no ages or children names, just numbers then simply numbers of steerage passengers with no names. What might be rich for you though is that it includes Robert Huntley's report of the voyage in his hand, with signature. It includes a Q & A for the surgeon to complete which is similar to this one for the Taymouth Castle, to SA in 1855 http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/australia/taymouthcastle1855.htm The DUCHESS OF NORTHUMBERLAND was ship-rigged, 541 tons, Captain David Roxburgh. Sailed from Cork on the 26th May 1836 with 319 emigrants and arrived on 3rd October 1836. btw. I also found him mention here http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/archives/indexes_online_3357.asp For the index for the 1841 census in "Farringdon, Parish Murray, District Braidwood" and another in the Insolvency Index . . . Surname FirstName Business StreetAddress Locality Occupation Sequestration File Number DateCertificateIssued Item NRSSeries Remarks HUNTLEY Robert - - Farringdon Surgeon 25/02/1842 105 10/07/1842 - 0 - . . . so it looks like medicine didn't pay too well at first.

It is a really good move when posting on foreign list/s , although TheShipsList is more international , to give clue to your location As Sue says your Dr HUNTLEY comes up in Ancestrys passenger arrivals 1826 -1922 to NSW , but no film number for a passenger list . You could try an email to NSW State Records [email protected] and ask if a passenger list has survived Bye MargM Beautiful NSW Central Coast NSW Australia
