RETTALLACK, Philippa & Mary - Arrived Geelong 1853
« on: Friday 02 June 17 06:51 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone.

This inquiry follows on from here: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=772357.9

Philippa (age 44) and Mary (age 20) Rettallack arrive in Geelong on 3 November 1853 from Cornwall on the Credenda.

For Philippa the 'By Whom Engaged' entry reads "Gone to her relative Mr Mathews (or Mathers) off Corio St, Geelong" and for Mary there is a "Ditto" symbol.

I don't think this Mary is the one I am looking for but I hate loose ends and can't seem to find a record for either of them.  Any assistance with locating Philippa and Mary after their arrival is appreciated.

Assume you have checked Victorian BDM.
Plenty of hits on Trove and you will need spelling variations.
