Can anyone please help with information regarding the 'Arundel' ship which left from Plymouth and reached Melbourne about Nov 24, 1852 according to local newspapers?   I have done numerous searches for this vessel but am continually referred to the 'Arundel Castle', which was in service much later.  I have no details of where the ship was registered but have tried to find some records in both Plymouth and Liverpool but nothing shows up.   The Ships List and various other lists/websites simply don't have an 'Arundel.  Any ideas, anyone?   

Mary married my great grandpa, Thomas Minton, on 6th May 1867 at Brighton (sth of Dunedin);  marriage certificate shows she was 18 and permission to marry was granted by Margarita Newberry, of the Empire Hotel.   Witness to the marriage was Letitia Murphy.   Mary had been in Brighton for 6 months and Thomas for 1 month.   Thomas was considerably older (34) but their first child wasn't born for 12 months so no shotgun (as far as we know ).   With the previous help of Rootschatterers, we've traced Thomas back to his birth in Clerkenwell, UK.   But Mary remains a mystery.   Can anyone help with information concerning Margarita Newberry, Letitia Murphy and our Mary Murphy?   Can't find birth details or immigration records - but I may not be looking in the right places.   Any suggestions?   

Thanks to all those wonderful folk (Althea, Lucy2, Deeiluka) who gave me so much information about forbear Thomas.
Problem is, I now have so many bits that don't fit, I'm not sure what to do next!
Facts:
Thomas was in Dunedin and played the cello at a daytime concert at the Princess Theatre Sept 23, 1862.   He may or may not have been part of the "English Opera Troupe" hired by Tom and Sanford Fawcett to "boost existing company" at the threatre (see history of Opera in NZ).   Family legend says he was English.  The troupe performed "Daughter of the Regiment" with Emma Neville starring.   The troupe is said to have arrived on Sept 18, 1862.
Apparently, Thomas stayed in the Dunedin area after the troupe moved on.   He contributed 10/6d to the St. Paul's Church Debt fund April, 1864 and was the beneficiary of a concert at Princess Theatre July, 1864 (sounds a bit contradictory?).   He advertised tuition in string and brass instruments from premises at Dowling St, Bell Hill, in 1865.
In 1867, he married Mary Murphy and their first son, William, was born in 1868.   In the interim, Oct 1867,  he apparently had an order appointing a trustee under the Insolvency Jurisdiction of the Westland District Court.   In March, 1868, he joined a company of Rifle Volunteers at Hokitika as a bugler.   In September,  Thomas Minton, painter, of Napoleon Hill, Province of Nelson was adjudicated bankrupt, gazetted accordinly in October and "left with only his fiddle which he needed to support his family (Otago Daily Times)."   Their second son, Louis Napoleon was born in 1870.   Thomas and Mary appear thereafter to have moved to Victoria, Australia, where their next child was born in 1872.
The description of Thomas as a painter links him with Benjamin Minton, who was described as part of Minton Bros., painters of Ballarat, and both a Benjamin and a Thomas Minton arrived in Victoria in 1852, with a William Minton also arriving in Victoria.   These three appear to be sons of Richard Minton, Plumber, and Maria, of Clerkenwell, Middlesex, England.   
Here are the things that seem inexplicable.
1     If my Thomas is related to and arrived with Benjamin, what happened in the years between 1852 and 1862 and why does Thomas not appear in Victoria as a musician when he is clearly well-trained?   I have done all kinds of searches without finding any mention of him.
2     Would a plumber, even one with several sons, have encouraged one of his boys to be a musician.
3     If my Thomas is not related to Benjamin, did he travel directly to NZ with the "Opera Troupe" and how would I find out?   None of the members mention (Emmas Neville, Madam Carandini, Madame Whyte, R. W. Kohler, Mons. Fleury, Mr. Cousins, Mr. Minton, Mr. Moss and Mr. Loder, appear on any passenger list to Australia or to NZ that I could access.
PLEASE HELP!

Could any fellow researchers possibly help me find the date of arrival and departure of forbears as above who arrived in the Dunedin area of NZ about 1860 and left for Australia about 1870.   I have checked ship passenger lists available online without result.

Any help much appreciated.
