Help me find the " Helenslee " (Helenslea) in 1863
« on: Monday 12 December 05 03:18 GMT (UK) »
Hi there everyone,

Can any one help me locate a passenger list for the ship the Helenslee on her 1863 voyage from Glasgow to New Zealand. I have found part of one on line for Bluff but I believe my family disembarked at Port Chalmers or possibly Lyttelton-any help gratefully received. I am looking for any McBeath's who were aboard. Thanks in advance Chloe

Thanks for those links, Atomz does have someone to contact-but the email address doesnt work. Hopefully someone knows where the physical list is held. Have a good day. Chloe

Hi Chloe,

Try these. You might want to try Otago Settlers Museum first to eliminate Port Chalmers, and then try Canterbury Museum perhaps.

Otago Settlers Museum
http://www.otago.settlers.museum/
Excellent research services for those whose ancestors arrived or lived in Otago.

Canterbury Museum, Christchurch – Documentary Research Centre.

Use the email link for your research request.

Otago Nominal Index to 1876

http://marvin.otago.ac.nz/oni/default.html
At March 2005, the index holds 241,302 records from Electoral Rolls, Street Directories and Police Gazettes for Otago and Southland.

Good hunting, riley

Hi Chloe,

Archives NZ Wellington only have an Index card for the 1863 voyage, with the following sources given;

[i]Otago Gazette [/i] 1871 p.183
(arr. Bluff 27 Sept 1863 dep. 3 July 1863)

This might be the source for the on-line passenger list mentioned above.

"SP 2/2" (SP = 'Southland Province').
This material is on microfiche #7104-7121. I checked it but found it to be indexed correspondance from various parties. I ran out of time to check section 2/2 but it appears likely to be similar material possibly from former a passenger/s of the Helenslee voyage who might be applying for a job in government, or government correspondance relating to the voyage.


Regards, riley.

Hi, Try this site http://www.aucklandlibrary.co.nz/, click on Digital Library, then History Genealogy, then search passenger lists, type in Helenslee, this will bring up a list of passengers that travelled on that ship. This site also has passenger list, but you will need to search through the dates, http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/, the paper you want is Sothern Cross, listed under Auckland publications, if you know the date of arrival, that will help you, and save time
