Barque Duke of Roxburgh
« on: Saturday 17 April 21 21:39 BST (UK) »
   I have been doing some research recently on George Collard who was captain of the Duke of Roxburgh from 1841 to 1853. During those years they made several voyages to Australia and Tasmania carrying emigrants, and I wondered if anyone on here had ancestors who travelled on the Duke.
     Collard was not an ancestor; this is an offshoot of some Kent local history research, and I have been learning all sorts of things about these ships and voyages.
