Title: "Gilbert Henderson" arr Australia 16 Sep 1841
Post by: Miss May on Friday 21 October 11 08:44 BST (UK)

Hi All

Anyone out there who's into ships??

I'm looking for some information on the ship the "Gilbert Henderson" and the only description I've been able to find so far was that it was a barque. I take it the name was used successively as an earlier ship bearing the same name was lost in 1833 according to the Belfast Shipping News. I'm after the one that carried mainly Irish immigrants (my rels among them) arriving into Sydney 16 Sep 1841.

Cheers
MM
