Shipping Records Liverpool Outwards Bound

jhosie775 — 2013-04-26 03:52:20Z

Are there any records relating to passengers on outward bound ships. The Star of the Sea left Liverpool on 24 April 1857 bound for Melbourne, Australia with 412 emigrants. It was an Emigration Commission ship.

Maud Ellen Smythe

ejwillcox — 2013-04-20 23:54:14Z

Could anyone help me? Maud was at school in England in the 1881 census and is then in the NZ census in 1896. She was born in 1870 in Lambeth, London. Her mother was Harriet Jane Turk, father was Joseph Smythe. Joseph & Harriet married in 9 oct 1869. Harriet died 1872. Joseph came out to NZ and remarried Emily Hodder in 1879. Apparently Joseph left his daughter Maud when he came to NZ and it appears she was at boarding school before coming out to NZ in 1884-1900. I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME FIND ANY TRAVEL MOVEMENTS FOR MAUD - does anyone have any ideas?

James William Jones English/Scotish ancestry:2nd marriage Liefman

kerrie_duff — 2013-04-08 04:56:19Z

hi. I am seeing details on my mother's side. Her father James William Jones came over from the UK as a 10pound Pom. He had a brother William and another Glynn who died in the war. Also a sister.

Jim was married to someone in the Stagg family before she passed away. He later married my grandmother Hannah Betsy Liefman. She converted from Judaism to Christianity.

His cousins Dorothy and Phyllis lived in Canada after England. Dorothy married Herb.

Any tips appreciated - including leads on Nanna's side.

Thanks,
Kerrie

Hello Emyr,
Thank you for that information, do you think you could send me a photo of the flyer, if so a very big thank you ahead. My Grandfather was a captain in the 2WW ( hard to find out what boats he served on then) am not sure if he was a Captain or Mate with the rest of his sea life so would love to hear back Gwen

My Grandfather was a sea captain sailing out of Porthmadog. I was in Porthmadog on Friday and the Maritime Museum there had just opened on the Thu after being closed for 18 months.
The new flyer for the Museum has a nice photograph of the Stream Fisher unloading a heavy load. I would expect the load was for the then new power station at Trawsfynydd.

grandfather went to work in Soviet Russia (USSR)

bandi_wilkinson — 2013-03-26 15:14:01Z

I have only family hearsay to work from, but I believe he went to work out there during the great depression, and would have been during the late 1920's, into the mid 1930's.

I just wonder how he would have got there? I assume via a ship from the UK, onto maybe Hamburg, Riga, or some other north European port?

I cannot find him on any passenger list, I wonder if there were any organised trips out there?

Any thoughts or ideas welcome..

Re: Farm Students

elizabeth_taylor31 — 2013-03-21 07:19:12Z

hi and thans for your reply. I did get anther message that might help you as well and so thought I would share :

tester1887
Feb 27 11:52 PM GMT
Maybe this helps explain the immigration of farm students in 1914.

"In the event, over the 40 years 1901–40, almost 600 000 immigrants arrived in Australia and no fewer than 471 400 were assisted. In 1912, the Premiers Conference agreed on uniform maximum assistance – £6 for an adult, half the minimum fare. One year later, the Federal Government commenced the advertising campaign in Britain which had been recommended seven years previously to attract migrants. It worked through cinema, press, lectures and posters. A new film unit prepared the material. Migration boomed: 92 000 migrants arrived in 1912, and many more in the two subsequent years before the outbreak of war. It was in this euphoria that the Dreadnought Scheme was initiated in 1911 to bring young British teenagers to New South Wales to work on the land and Kingsley Fairbridge established his first farm school near Pinjarra in Western Australia in 1913.

This was the era of the 'white Australia' policy. The immigrants accepted were all of European origin, overwhelmingly from the British Isles. Federation in 1901 was soon followed by the passage of two Acts, theImmigration Restriction Act 1901 and the Pacific Islands Labourers Act 1901, which prohibited non-white immigration to Australia for more than 60 years. The Contract Immigrants Act was passed in 1905. The encouragement of immigration was selective, driven by economic and political considerations, and based on a firmly established racial hierarchy.

The short-lived immigration boom for the years 1910–13 was interrupted by the outbreak of war in August 1914. This virtually suspended all immigration until shipping once again became available in 1919. The war period, however, served to reinforce previously-held views on the size, composition and distribution of Australia's future population: that it should be predominantly British, that non-Europeans should be denied entry, and that immigrants should be directed to rural rather than urban areas. The war also strengthened British and imperial ties and led to plans to redistribute the population of the Empire through a variety of immigration and development projects after the war."

I found the Shepperson family - January 4 1867 on the S.S. Peruvian listed as Steperson

jgildawie — 2013-03-17 13:37:42Z

I found them! They came to the US arriving on 4 Jan 1867 on the S.S. Peruvian. Joseph Shepperson and Sophia Fletcher Shepperson and all the children came together (Children Joseph B, Elizabeth (Annie?), Sophia, Sarah A, Frederick and George and Harry.

I got the citizenship papers from the National Archives of Boston (they were very quick and responsive). It was Joseph Shepperson's papers that had the correct arrival date - younger Joseph's date of arrival was close and Harry's was about 3 years off.

I had asked the National Archives to help me find passenger ship manifests. But I was able to find the microfilm (scanning?) batch numbers on line.

And although I had some initial trouble with the online interface and finding the right passenger lists (I didn't think these had been digitized yet), yesterday I was able to access the Boston passenger lists for that period of time. Getting to approximately Jan 4 1867, I was able to view each page.

I found them on page 2 - name was spelled Steperson, almost all the first names were abbreviations and Harry was listed as Henry.

Once I had all of this info (including the incorrect surname spelling), I was able to find more of this info directly on ancestry.com

Would you - or someone else - know when it sailed from Liverpool?

Re: Thomas and Annie Woodward

francesb884 — 2013-03-17 06:20:52Z

I noticed your message was 2010 so you probably have the required information. My grandmother was Louisa Phelps nee Woodward and I think Thomas was her brother ( or uncle). My mother Always talked about how after the war your great grandfather invited her and my father to work on his farm in Taranaki. But they didn't have the courage to go - a decision the always regretted. A few years before I was born but in 1972 I set off with my back pack to go overland to N Z with the aim of looking up any relatives
. Alas I never made it and stayed in Asia for many years instead.

Re: ss Pennsylvania to New York 1887

ERhodes1135 — 2013-03-17 02:50:46Z

I believe the vessel you are refering to was launched on Aug 1872 and was owned by the American line and operated by the American Steamship Co. That line had finacial problems and by 1887 the vessel was sold and was being operated by the Red Line on it's Liverpool to New York route.

Hi all. Can anyone help? I'm trying to find out how, where and when my ancester came back to England from Australia. He was sentenced to 14 years and arrived in New South Wales on board The Admiral Gambier in 1811. He had already served approx 3 years on a prison ship in Portsmouth. His name was Francis Wooldridge. I have evidence of his arrival and evidence of his burial back home but, nothing in between.

OBITUARY
PASSING OF A HIGHLY ESTEEMED RESIDENT.
Mr. George Ewen, of Phillip Island, who, a little more than a week since contracted an attack of influenza, on Thursday felt sufficiently recovered to leave his room. On Friday he suffered a relapse, and Dr. Sleeman was sent for from Wonthaggi. On arrival the doctor at once realised the critical state of Mr. Ewens' health, and pronounced him to be suffering from pneumonia and influenza. This, coupled with a failing heart, made his case assume a very serious aspect, necessitating the summoning at once of his son (Mr. Harold Ewen) and daughter (Mrs. Hutchinson) who arrived on Saturday, bringing with them a trained nurse. On Sunday, Dr. Sleeman again visited the patient but, held out very little hope of his recovery. With a desire that every thing possible might be done, a message was sent to Melbourne for a second nurse, who duly arrived, but all was of no avail, for, on Tuesday, shortly before mid-day, this man, who a fortnight previously one would have thought had still many years ahead of him, was called Home.

It is somewhere about 40 years ago since Mr. Ewen first made acquaintance with Phillip Island. At that time he became partner with Mr. Gillanders Findlay, as builders and contractors, at Brunswick. The firm later erected some very fine churches, notably at Queenscliff, Dandenong, and Brighton, the Presbyterian church in the last-named suburb being a particularly handsome edifice. They also built the dwelling now used as a police station at Cowes. Shortly afterwards the partnership was dissolved. In the meantime, Mr. Ewen had acquired property in Cowes, which he retained to the time of his death. Contuinuing his connection with the island and his reputation of a builder, whose work could always be relied on, he induced a number of 'residents' to entrust to him the erection of their houses among which was one for the late Mr. Steele; "Bay View," for Mr. Gawler; "Ismay," for Mr. Jamison; "Talofa," for Mr. W. E. Thompson; "Fresh watergate," for Mrs. Barton; and "KIrriemiur," for the late Mrs. W. S. Davidson. All through his long life Mr. Ewen has been an ardent church worker. He was one of the senior eiders, at the Brunswick Presbyterian Church, and after the formation of a session here was appointed an assessory elder. While in active association with the Brunswick church, he occupied very many offices. In 1917 Mr. Ewans' love of church work bid him go to the New Hebrides, accompanied by his youngest surviving son where he spent six months, first building a new manse at Vila, and subsequently visiting and repairing mission houses at Onua, Pangkuma and Aulur in Malekula. Shortly after his return to Victoria he relinquished his business by handing it over to his son, and thereafter made the island his home.

The deceased gentleman was of upright and sterling character, and only at the last meeting of the Progress Association was elected vice-president. He leaves a widow, two married daughters and a son to mourn their loss. We desire to express our deep sympathy with all the members of the family. Mr. Ewens' remains were interred in the Melbourne General Cemetery on Wednesday afternoon. Three sons and one daughter who had predeceased him, are buried there.
Frankston & Somerville Standard, 5 Sep 1923.

THE LATE MR. GEO. EWEN.
Reference was made at both services at St. John's Presbyterian church, Cowes, on Sunday, to the death of the late Mr. George Ewen. At the evening servlces Mr. Ashmore's remarks were as follows:- We deplore the irreparable loss of our esteemed friend and member the late Mr. George Ewen, of Cowes, who passed away at his residence on Tuesday last at the age of 71 years. Mr. Ewen always took a keen interest in our church, and attended regularly morning and evening. By his unassuming manner and genial disposition and sterling worth he endeared himself to the hearts of every one, and time will soon reveal what a loss we have sustained. He sought to help us in every way-the flowers that you have seen here Sunday after Sunday nearly always came from his garden, and these adorning platform aml pulpit to-night .are the children of his labors. Resigned we shall be, however, knowing that he has gone to pluck the flowers of life eternal in the Garden of the Lord, that have sprung up from the seeds of kindness and charity sown during his life time.
Frankston & Somerville Standard, 12 Sep 1923.

I have a number of photos but I can't seem to be able to send them on this site. I can post a cd to you if you like.

The photos are: Ewen home 123 Union Road Brunswick, which was next door to Hester Ewen's, mother of George William.

Re: Six Sisters - Zes Gesusters

prothfield — 2013-03-10 12:11:17Z

Hi Liz,
I only just found your original message of Feb 2011 a few weeks ago and have been meaning to reply. Unfortunately gg grandfather George Ewen took to the drink and spent twelve months in Pentridge 1867. I found his gaol record which said he came out in the Six Sisters and thus found your original message. His son George William Ewen went the opposite direction becoming a pillar of the Rechabite movement and the Presbyterian Church in Brunswick and was a successful building contractor. The family never mentioned anything about George Ewen and I assume he must have deserted his family in the 1860's.

I would be pleased to find out any more information you have on the Six Sisters. I have all the Australian Ewen family tree and a bit in Norfolk England done.

Hi, according to Wilks family word-of-mouth, Joseph Joseph Wilks is buried in an unmarked grave in the Jewish section of Stawell cemetery in central Victoria.
Also according to family word-of-mouth, the Josephs are Spanish in origin. An older family member is recalled to have said the family were called "marranos", a derogatory term used in the past for Spanish Jews who were thought to have pretended to convert to Catholicism.
Also, I have read that the Spanish custom for giving children names is to give them their own Christian name then their father's surname followed by their mother's surname, hence Joseph Joseph Wilks. Family members still have the Joseph Wilks surname although usually the 'Joseph' is silent with just 'Wilks' being used for everyday purposes.
Although hearsay, it is interesting and opens a new avenue for searching. Hope it helps.

Hi all
Just a general query. There was ship "Hawkes Bay" departed ENgland on 18 June 1914 to Sydney and there is a list of lots of men that are shown as "farm Students". Can anyone elaborate on this. ie were they recruited in England to work in Australis, was it like an apprenticeship. Any info would be appreciated. Regards Liz
