G'day Chatters,
Would it be possible please for someone to check the arrival of a Isabella GARDNER/GARDINER aboard the vessel Ghengis Khan in 1853 at Port Melbourne.
A family story syas that she was "disposed" to a man in Richmond Melbourne.
Maybe shad family with her also.
Regards

Hi Wal,
Isabella was 25, a domestic servant from Haddington in Scotland. She was Presbyterian and could read and write. The disposal list shows that she was contracted to work for a Mr PURVES at Richmond for 3 months at 25 pounds (I think this is a per annum rate). She appears to be travelling alone.
