Edwin Fox passenger lists 1875
« on: Sunday 08 October 23 07:19 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know if there is a full passenger list for the Edwin Fox that left London in December 1874 and arrived in Wellington in April 1875.

Not showing up on Familysearch anywhere.

Thanks
Ian C

The Edwin Fox is at Picton and I wonder if they have any more info than Archives/Family Search.

https://www.edwinfoxship.nz/

This is a para
'In 1874 the Edwin Fox sailed from London on December 23, and arrived at Wellington on April 18, 1875, bringing 259 immigrants. She originally left London on November 24, but during a gale at Deal lost her anchor and put back. The vessel was then in command of Captain Walpole. On resuming her voyage again she ran into and sank a collier schooner, the Edwin Fox drifting on to the rocks at Deal. She was towed off and docked, and finally left on December 23 in command of Captain Davis.'

Hi Ian,

I have been to the Edwin Fox Museum and I have a vague recollection that they do hold passenger lists for her voyages.

Please let us know what you find.

The Edwin Fox was quarantined on Soames/Somes island and some quarantined passenger lists appear to be available on line** - but cannot find any for this station.
The NZ newspapers carry a wealth of information about the voyage/arrival but very, very few immigrants are named.
