Shipping "Ashmore" to South Australia in 1884 - COMPLETED

[Dalet]

Hi All,

Can someone tell me where the "Ashmore", which arrived in South Australia 2nd October 1884 originated from?

I have Sydney Lamb (born 1857 Adelaide), his wife Emily Jeffrey (born c 1855), and their children Edith, Emily, and Ethel. Another daughter Adelaide Ashmore was born Aug 1884 aboard "Ashmore" .

Cant find a marriage or birth of children anywhere

Any ideas and/or help appreciated

Hi Dalet

Your Sydney Lamb was not the Sydney LAMB born in Adelaide.

News (Adelaide, SA : 1923 - 1954) Saturday 4 December 1926
LATE MR. SYDNEY LAMB
Well Known in Meat Trade
The late Mr. Sydney Lamb was a popular member of the meat trade. He possessed a fine physique and a genial disposition.
Born in Burnham, Buckinghamshire, England, 74 years ago, he started as a master butcher at 23 years of age in Finchley. After about six years he sold out and arrived in South Australia in October, 1884. Opening business in Jamestown he conducted it successfully for 14 years. He then sold out and came to Adelaide and was in business for many years at Hilton, and latterly at Kapunda terrace, Payneham.
He was an expert slaughterman and in the export season for lambs was invariably engaged as foreman over the slaughtering. He had many references regarding his ability in the export trade.
Mr. Lamb left a widow, Mrs. Emily Ann Lamb. of Payneham,. 12 daughters, one son, and five grandchildren.

SA BDM indexes but there is often more information on the CD resources.

My resource shows that Adelaide Ashmore's place of birth was "Aboard Ashmore".
The next seven births listed by cupoflife were at Jamestown and the last at Croydon.

If you have access to Ancestry, there are 10 trees, some with resources but the spelling errors and incorrect year of death for Sydney indicate some copy and paste not original research.
