Hi,
       I am hoping someone may be able to help with a crew and passenger list for the Ship Echo which arrived in Hobson Bay in October 1855,the Captain was John Boyd.

          Regards  Dexter

134 passengers listed on the PROV site as Unassisted Passengers, but in April not October  :-\

There is an advertisement for a seed merchant who has stock 'per ECHO, from Glasgow' - 26 April 1855

The ship arrived April 7th from Greenock. There is a small passenger list of the eight adult cabin passengers but no list for those in 'intermediate or steerage'.

She was back later in the year. Arrived Hobsons Bay on October 19th. No passengers listed in the Argus as far as I can find, but neither does it say "no passengers". EDIT - sorry that was 1856, not 1855. The Captain was Boyd

   Thank you for your replies,I have been following them up. I have since discovered that the ship arrived at Hobson Bay on the 7th April 1855. I havee been hoping to find the crew list as I think my great grandfather Francis Henwood may have been onboard.

       Regards  Dexter.
