Title: Sailing Ship "Oamaru"
Post by: Little Jim on Sunday 26 June 11 17:34 BST (UK)

I am looking for passenger lists for the Oamaru when it arrived in Port Chalmers on 17 Feb. 1875. I have two sets of great and great great grandparents who arrived on that ship.
One is Alexander Cameron Collie and maybe his parents Alexander and Mary?
Also George Forbes Hendry and his wife Mary Jane Ritchie.
I have been unsuccessful in finding a passenger list for that particular sailing. If anyone has any info on that list or this particular family, I would love to see it.

John.
