Hi Sandy,
This is what I found on the arrival of Sarah & children:
South Australia Advertiser
Monday 17 September 1866
Arrival of the Hougoumont, with 334 immigrants
The Hougoumont turned up in a strong gale on Sunday morning, and the weather was such that the beach lifeboat took off all the officers from the boarding station, and well she behaved, snipping an occasional in of water, but letting it out again instantly. On reaching the ship the surgeon reported 24 cases of measles on the voyage, and although none of them had been fatal the additional Health Officer decided to keep her in quarantine until Dr. Duncan was communicated with. It was fortunate she had no cases on board on arrival, nor had there been any from August 18. The Surgeon Superintendent is an old hand in the service, having been here on several previous occasions; and Captain Cozens is so well known in the Adelaide trade as to require no comments on his reputation as a kind and attentive master. We shall take an early opportunity of visiting and reporting on the state of the vessel. During the voyage there has only been one death and four births, so that the population increased by three from the time of departure. The following are the names of the immigrants, together with their national and industrial classification:
noted in the names...John, Sarah, Sarah, Elizabeth and Grace Lampier.
It certainly fits the time frame well. The mystery to me is the John, the others I can account for, as I have not looked at a passenger for the ship to see if I can see an age for John, I do not know if he is a related adult or a child...perhaps of another family member.
(A snippet from Wikipedia on the ship: In the 1860s, Hougoumont's tender was accepted by the Emigration Commission. On 9 June 1866 it began a voyage from Plymouth to Port Adelaide, carrying 335 government-assisted emigrants. It arrived on 16 September.....)
I think it was something to do with costs of immigration, cheaper to go via South Australia?? I will have to look that up again. Certainly I agree, the brothers might have came out together, and perhaps earlier than the wives to set up a home for the arriving family. If you would like contact out of rootschat feel free to contact me on (*) Regards Lyn
