Australia / Re: Passenger list for Chatsworth, Moreton Bay 1862: MATHESON family
« on: Wednesday 19 January 11 10:06 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Debra

I suspect the family did pay their own way out given their absence from the online lists.  Donald Matheson was a surveyor so they probably weren't a poor family.  At the time of the Chatsworth's arrival in Queensland Donald would have been about 35, his wife Elizabeth 27 and their daughter Catherine/Katie 4.  There was a son Matthew less than 2, and I think he may have died on the voyage.

Would appreciate any further info you can provide.

Regards,
Andrew

Australia / Passenger list for Chatsworth, Moreton Bay 1862: MATHESON family
« on: Tuesday 18 January 11 23:04 GMT (UK)  »
Hi

I'd be very grateful if someone can check the passenger list of the Chatsworth that arrived into Moreton Bay on 6 August 1862.  I know that Mr Jeffrey of the Royal Navy and his wife were on board (they're listed in the Courier of 16 August).  I'm really interested in Donald Matheson, his wife Elizabeth Adam and their children. I suspect they were also on board; can anyone confirm?

(Sorry I posted this first on the 'completed' requests board; my error.)

Many thanks,
Andrew

I'm overseas and getting the A$15 book isn't really practicable.

Many thanks,

Sorry, my fault.  I realised after posting you were talking about arrivals into Australia. I'm interested in its journey to New Zealand April to August 1856. Now, if you had the passenger listings from that journey ....

Hi

Are you able to scan part of the hand-written list?  I'm interested in Hector and Ann MacDonald and their six children.  They were on this vessel, though I'm not sure if they were part of the assisted scheme.

Thanks,
Andrew
