(oops, I totally overlooked posting this before July 1) *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 June 2006 is . . . o Fleets new: o Eastern & Australasian Mail Steamship Co. This is another different Fleet for us, sailing from Sydney to Brisbane, Batavia, Singapore and Hong Kong. o Passengers: o barque David Malcolm, from London / Plymouth to Port Adelaide 23rd January 1847 o barque Hermann von Beckerath, from Bremen, Germany to Port Adelaide 15th December 1847 o ship Gellert, from Bremen, Germany to Port Adelaide 20th December 1847 o Quebec - 7th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 5th June 1824 o Quebec - 8th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 13th June 1824 o Quebec - 9th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 19th June 1824 o Quebec - 10th trip up, Quebec to Montreal, 30th June 1824 Three 1847 lists for South Australia, all carrying assisted passengers. The David Malcolm list was pretty basic, so I utilized the 1841 England census to spice it up a little, for instance, in families, a plain "Giles Farnham & wife & four children" with a young man in single men also called Giles and a young woman in single women called Ruth, was easily identified as this family . . . Giles Farnham & wife (Caroline) & four children, (Cain, Able, Harriott, Mary Ann) Stockland, Dorset The other two 1847 lists have assisted passengers from Bremen to South Australia, which posed another set of problems for our transcriber, Robert with lists of German names compiled by an English speaker. There was actually quite a large German emigration to South Australia, although not all stayed there, but migrated to Victoria and Queensland. Many who did stay (although I don't think the 1847 emigrants particularly) became the first vintners of the wonderful South Australian wines, even bringing vines with them. Four more lists for steamboat Quebec for 1824. The "settlers" are now showing up in pretty good numbers. I'm sure anyone researching 1824 immigrants, for instance . . . Robin Armstrong & wife & three children above 12 years, or, Thomas Crone & wife & seven children under 12 years, or, James Hangan & three brothers & one sister, (inc.) three siblings above 12 & two children under 12 years, or, George Coombs & wife & six children, four above 12 & two under 12 years, or, Mrs. McCambridge & Paddy McCambridge & Sheelah McCambridge, plus many many Grier, Greir, Greer families and family members (spelled all 3 ways), will have a field day :-} (just to name a few) Of the settlers arriving at Quebec then taking the steamboats to Montreal (not just 1824), many stayed in Canada, but many also continued to the US, some right away and others migrating at a later date. Please share this *new* for TheShipsList website email, with any other list to which you belong if you think it might be of interest or value to those list members (in other words, on-topic). Enjoy !
