The Alhambra arrived Nelson December 1870
« on: Saturday 30 March 13 20:51 GMT (UK) »
The Alhambra arrived in Nelson around the 19 December 1870, from Melbourne (via Brisbane?).
I am trying to determine if Mr JW & Mrs M Hawkes was on board - cannot seem to see them and am wondering if I am looking in the right place.
Can anyone help me, please?
Thank you
