Title: 1839 Arrival in Australia of Richard Brown
Post by: Southvancouver on Wednesday 16 March 22 14:15 GMT (UK)

From information in a message thread concerning his wife, Melona Tate, I understand that Richard Brown and his wife arrived from England at Port Jackson/Sydney on the ship Andromache in 1839.  I see that the arrival record mentioned by other researchers shows the names of Melona's parents.  I do not know where this record of the passengers on that ship was found.  I wonder if it also mentions the names of Richard's parents?  Richard is reported to have been born in Jamaica but he and his wife married in London (Stepney) in 1835, four years before going to Australia. Can anyone point me to a link to the record or look to see if Richard's parents are mentioned? They have a number of descendants in Australia.

FamilySearch has the index cards and Ancestry has the original images.

I am not sure if it Tailor or Sailor.
