1869 voyage of the Sam Cearns - London to Sydney
« on: Friday 13 June 14 06:48 BST (UK) »
I've got a bit of a mystery.  My GG Grandfather, Charles Pascoe travelled on the Sam Cearns leaving London in Aug 1869.  I have his diary for the voyage.  I'm missing the last month of the journey and when the ship docks in Sydney, his name is NOT among the passengers or crew.  Any thoughts about what happened?

I know he left Sydney in Oct 1870 on the Commissary, bound for London, but can find no trace of his arrival or location in Australia.  He died on the way back and I have his will from the captain of the Commissary

Many thanks
Simon
