Return to German Emigrants to South Australia

barque Alfred, 362 tons, Captain Joachim Meyer, from Hamburg 4th November 1857, arrived at Port Adelaide, South Australia 13th February 1858 ... departed Adelaide 18th February, arrived Melbourne 24th February 1858

The Argus, Thursday 25 February 1858 p. 4
February 24 - Alfred, Hamburg barque, 362 tons, J. Meyer, from Hamburg via Adelaide 2lst inst. [sic ?]
Passengers:— cabin, Mr. and Mrs. Engler, Miss Jurgenson, Miss Bernhard, Messrs R.S. Sartorius, C.F.H. Scheffus, and 27 in the steerage ... Mollenbacca, Uhlhorn, and Co., agents.

An index from the State Library South Australia (SLSA) shows that 52 German migrants should have been on the Alfred, I have been able to find 95 as listed below ... take away the 35 designated for Melbourne, still leaves about 60 for Port Adelaide— Regards Robert.

note: Some of the clearly indicated ages of the Steerage passengers on the Melbourne arrival list, vary wildly from all other sources and have been entered in red in the Remarks column, for interest only.

note.— There are very few surviving original lists of German passengers, so the data below has been compiled from a variety of sources, such as contemporary newspaper(s), internet sources, input from descendants and the South Australian Heraldry Genealogy society, (SAGHS).
I know the list is incomplete and may contain errors, so any feedback with additions or corrections, will be most appreciated. Please contact me using the link above. Regards Robert, Adelaide
