Emigration from Bucks to Oz in 1886
« on: Tuesday 05 May 09 16:30 UTC (UK) »
Hi

One of my Ivinghoe / Pitstone relatives sailed from Plymouth to Maryborough, Australia in 1886 on the Scottish hero. He is shown on the agents list as migrating from Buckinghamshire.

I am trying to find out if this was as a result of free passage in answer to a local recruitment drive. Does anyone have any info or suggestions as to where I may be able to find out more?

Thank you in anticipation

Kate

Hi Normsy

No, my relative was my Mums Grand-Uncle Jesse Nash. He was married to Martha Turney and aged 20 when he emigrated.

There are a few others from Bucks on the same ship, which made me wonder about an advertisement for the passage as I have see a similar thing for Oxfordshire dated early 1890's.

Regards

Kate

They were advertising free passages to South Australia in the Newbury paper in the mid 1870s - I'd guess that the same adverts would appear in many other papers.

Hi,

In a book about Swanbourne, Bucks, there is a copy of what looks like a flyer for the  Emigration to Qld recruiting drive  printed 1873 by an Aylesbury printer on the Authority of the Queensland Govt.  A Mr E Richardson and  Mr S.G.Payne  were Govt Agents in Aylesbury.

I have seen similar notices published in newspapers of the time.
