Passenger Lists

[mygirlbill]

Does any one have access to the passenger list for the steamship Quetta that sailed from Gravesend, destination Australia in October 1888. I am researching the Day family who hailed from Swindon, Semley, Dorset and Somerset. According to information I was given, Rose Anna/Roseann Day aged 19 accompanied her brother Edwin Thomas Day and family to Australia. However, according to the census of 1891, Rose Anna/Roseann is living in with her sister Julia Kate Day/Porter and family. Also living there is their brother Albert Edward Day. What is so strange about all this is that all the names, years and places of birth of the 3 siblings are 100% correct. If Roseann came to Australia in 1888 then what is she doing living in Swindon in 1891? I have proof that she did marry here in Australia in 1897 as well as died here. Is it possible that she may have returned to England sometime between 1888 and 1891? And if so, when did she come back to Australia again? Any help or suggestions gratefully received.

This might be a possibility Miss R Day age 19years departure date 24th May 1891
London England going to Sydney Australia
Ship Orient ( so that would have been after the census )

When was the 1891 census conducted???

I like the word conducted 

It was 5 April 1891 according to my trusty list of dates.

Thank you so much every one for your help. Yes that looks to be the right family. I made a boo boo when I said that RoseAnn was 19 when she accompanied her brother and family to Australia. She was 17. Got confused with the 1891 census when she was then 19 years of age. Will now have to try and find out when she went back to England. Thank you!

You're welcome.
