SS Militiades
« on: Monday 12 September 05 07:55 BST (UK) »
I would be grateful if  you have  access to the Unassisted Immigrant fiche, for
Victoria and could please look up the entry for Julia Blunden & her two
daughters Mabel & Emily Blunden who sailed on the SS Miltiades , October 1913. The
reference is 882-006. I have no idea which ports they sailed from or to or
where they were going once they got there.
I also know that her married daughter Mary, but known as Polly went to Australia with her husband and son. Both were called Albert Parker, but the husbands first initial was E. I don't know if they went before or after her as I cannot find them on the web-site for Victoria.
Many thanks

When I saw the name "Miltiades" (correct spelling) I almost fell off my seat because I have a passenger list from the State Archives on file.  Unfortunately when I checked it was for its 1920 voyage.  So near and yet so far.

At least you have the year and ship number.  It would be best to contact the NSW State Archives and ask for a print out of the list.

Here are the results from the index for Victoria:

BLUNDEN   MABEL MISS   17   OCT   1913   MILTIADES   B   882   006
BLUNDEN   EMILY MISS   21   OCT   1913   MILTIADES   B   882   006

Unfortunately you need to go to a reading room in Victoria to view the original.  Perhaps someone knows of a reliable transcription service?

Hi

Thanks, that's the trouble, you have to go there or employ some to look it up, they don't have a service that can do it for you. Shame, they'd make a few bob out of it. Interestingly both the sisters had different dates in October do you know why that would be ?
