Shipping Lists 1879 John Elder - Arrived South Australia March from Plymouth

[Dundee]

That database records them as being on the John Elder which departed London 15 July 1879 and arrived in South Australia on 27 August.

I have been through the whole departure manifest for that journey which includes passengers embarking at London, Plymouth and Cape Town and there are no HALEs onboard.

Now I am getting RootsChat ads for holidays in the Channel Islands - doesn't take them long

SA Records and SLSA hold

GRG 35/48/1 Official Assisted Passage Passenger Lists 1845 – 1886

I cannot find any HALE's on the JOHN ELDER at SA Records either.

As Deb mentioned, they disembarked in Victoria from the JOHN ELDER in Mar 1879

A big thank you to those of you who have been kind enough to research and reply.

I've decided that this website is inaccurate and will ignore it

They have the Hale family as arriving in July not March. They somehow have two of the deceased Hales listed on the ship  - Ruth Hale (mother of Ruth Elizabeth Hale) and Georgina Hale.

I am going to refer them to the link that you provided Cando if that's OK in the hope that they will correct their records.

Thanks so much

I don't get any ads on rootschat . 

I'm trying to find the arrival of the JOHN ELDER in Melbourne and Adelaide but TROVE is just 'sitting'...too many people using the free Telstra Mobile data today

The PROV passenger list is from the ship's manifest however if the JOHN ELDER sailed onto Adelaide then they more than likely did as well.  They were Unassisted Passengers anyway and details are scant.  Not required anyway by the shipping line.
