Passenger list for INDIAN QUEEN 1857

[residntAngel]

Hi Lucy.

I didn't know they were from Ireland!! And there are two older sons and a daughter in that list as well .

Mary Jane 21 Sempstress
Samuel 18 Labourer
William Jnr 16 Labourer

William Junior married Jane Spicer, and had quite a few children before he died in 1857 - one in the same years as his death. Jane then married Ben Houdley in 1858.

Samuel, my great great grandfather, was born in 1855.

For details about the family of Elizabeth Espy b. 1794 and William Mason
b. 1783 and their seven children, please see "The House of Espie in Australia
and New Zealand" by Mary (Espie) Smith, first edition 1993, page 261, ISBN
0 646 16595, Harrison Printing Co. Pty. Ltd., Toowoomba, Qld. Chapter 29 was
contributed by my, uncle. In Old French espie means sword.
My line: Esby > Espie (Scotland > Londonderry 1610) > Espey, Espy
(Cookstown and Dungannon). Dr. Robert Espie, Ship Surgeon, was related
according to my family records and independent research. I have been in
contact with one researcher, believed to be related, with postings in
Rootsweb for Espie + Savage as related to Elizabeth Espy b. 1794.

Cheers, sword

Hello Patsy,
My G G Grandparents were John Augustus MASON and Jane CHAMBERS.  They arrived on the Indian Queen in 1857. With 2-3 children including my G G Grandmother Eliza Jane MASON.
I haven't come across a Helen Augusta MASON in my lot.
I found John Augustus obituary in the Evening Post 8 June 1815 which said he arrived on the Indian Queen in the "50's".
I have been unable to find his birth in Romford or Stepney, Middlesex, London c 1842 but I have Jane CHAMBERS Parish Records, and all her family on Family Search IGI.  Father Mathias/Matthew, Mother Frances/Fanny.  Also Eliza Janes' Birth Entry.
All the best
Diane

Hello Ross,

The passenger list I have attached does not have Haigh on it.
I have found these two sites, but there are others and it appears that it called into Australia before coming on to Wellington, New Zealand.
