Passenger List - Sultana 1866 - London to Qld

[Ruskie]

Do you actually have reference to Samuel in NSW? Maybe his family moved without him.

Have you found them on electoral roles?

SA was a long way for Gertrude to travel alone. A relly maybe: Death 1881 111/451 ALLBON Maria Henry ALLBON (H) Adelaide

Yes, maybe the family moved without Samuel.

The Trove item mentioning Gertrude's marriage which you posted a link to mentioned that "Bart" was a resident of Paterson NSW. That is the only mention of (possibly) Samuel being in NSW.

Yes, it is a long way for Gertrude to go, but the same article says that her husband Arthur was from Sydney and now lived in Broken Hill, so presumably she went with him. 

[Ruskie]

So, was it at Elizabeth's home that he died?

Thanks very much for that announcement Sue.

Yes, Herbert Frederick Wilkins was Samuel's son in law. Herbert married Elizabeth Hattie Allbon in 1888 West Maitland district NSW.

Samuel John is in Westbourne Street in the 1903 and 1905 electoral roll.

Thanks Sue. That's very early considering he arrived in 1866. 

(middle initial quite clearly an A but should be a B ... mistakes can happen)

The following may be useful for passenger lists in Queensland.  Assisted immigration 1848 to 1912https://data.qld.gov.au/dataset/assisted-immigration-1848-to-1912

 You can download the index in Excel and also the passenger list images under Visualisation Preview.

This one starts out with locating the surname and then the ship.

Two of my ancestors arrived on the Sultana and the 1 Nov 1862 arrival is at http://www.archivessearch.qld.gov.au/Image/DigitalImageDisplay.aspx?ImageId=39290#page=4&view=Fit&ispdf=true

The only ALLBON I could find was a 22 year old male James ALLBON who arrived on the Duke of Sutherland 29 Dec 1888.  See attachment

I was unable to locate an 1866 arrival however I have found the wonderful folk at the Archive very helpful.  You could email using the form at the following address.

Thanks Westy. I did look on the Qld State Archives list for immigration and shipping records but since they 'upgraded' the site I just seem to get lost and can never find what I am looking for (and what I used to be able to easily find in the past).

I might visit the archives myself I think.

[Westy11]

Yes I know what you mean Ruskie.

The process I use is to start with the surname.  This process is for the Assisted Immigration between 1848 - 1912.
https://data.qld.gov.au/dataset/assisted-immigration-1848-to-1912

Go down the list till you find the first letter of the surname and in this instance A.

Click on the file and this brings you to https://data.qld.gov.au/dataset/assisted-immigration-1848-to-1912/resource/4d7a110c-f531-4688-9dda-b1c04ee16ebd

See the attachment below.  Click on the green icon on the left.  This opens up and I then save it as an Excel file and go down the list of surnames till I find the one I am seeking and in this case ALLBON.  As you know a ship will come a number of times so find the date you are looking for or if no date of which you are aware then its a matter of finding the ship and gradually working through the various manifests.

For the purposes of this exercise there was only one ALLBON  who came in on board the Duke of Sutherland on the 29 Dec 1888 [poor loves as they would have been roasting in the heat and humidity in December]. 

In the attachment titled ALLBON see at the top of the image is a heading that is 4th from the far right titled Digital ....  Click on the hyperlink and it will open up the passenger list.  You can download it from there also.

However this doesn't help you greatly for your specific search as there is no other ALLBON's recorded.  As you say a visit to the archives may be in order.
