"Derry Castle" Voyage 1853 to Melbourne
« on: Thursday 29 November 07 05:43 GMT (UK) »
Hello All,

I have Thomas and Elizabeth Hodgson, and daughter Mary, on this voyage. They were from Cumbria, and eventually ended up in Canterbury. NZ.

My questions:  - is there an online account of the voyage?
                           what date did she leave, and date of arrival.

Thank You,
Jean

Holds an account of the eventful voyage of the ship, but  after the one you are interested in. Shocked

If you put the ship's name into the search, you will see the arrival date and the other passengers on board for your 1853 trip.

Thank you Sue,
I will take it that the "Derry Castle" arrived in Melbourne in May 1853.
