Title: Passenger List - Flying Cloud
Post by: shirle on Friday 19 September 08 10:22 BST (UK)

Thomas & Kezia Shepherd arrived with their family Hezekiah, Frederick, William, Phoebe and Ann in 1863  from London to Moreton Bay I think.  They also had a married daughter Elizabeth Meredith who came over with her husband Edward on the same vessel I Think.  I have tried to look this info up but is not online that I can find.  Apparently there is a book or something with passenger lists.  Does someone have it and can they look this up for me.
Regards
Shirley

I know you're in Australia Shirley ... it might be worth while finding out if your library can get it !!

( Thats if nobody is able to answer your question !!  :) )

The State Library of Queensland offers  research  asstance at the bottom of the webpage. http://www.slq.qld.gov.au/info/fh

It also has the book whic you will find if you click on Immigration more than lists and then click on

 Early shipping in Moreton Bay Vol. 1. June 1846 - Dec. 1859 -- vol. 2. 1860-1863

youv could then contact them wiwth the title and the names you are researching.

I think it would be worth a try.

These were found on:

http://members.iinet.net.au/~perthdps/shipping/mig-qld1.htm

FLYING CLOUD               ..  10  1862   Queensland   Plymouth      ..  .. ....   CL   M1710   (col/12)

FLYING CLOUD               ..  ..    1865    ...    ...   ...    ...   ..  .. ....                   PL   M1710   (col/12) No other details other than passengers

It is: day, month, year, arrived, departed, src, film, immigration dept.

I wonder why they don't have it arriving in '63.

I have purchased one of the books. It was great, as it not only gave passenger lists, but information about what happens during the voyage.

Here is someone who has the passenger list and offers to share it.

Have you seen this:

This site proves that the married daughter was on the ship. The 1862 is the one. It is the same as the 1863.
