Return to SA Passenger
Lists,1847-1886
barque Aurora,
536 tons, Captain Valentine Ryan, from Southampton
21st January 1856, arrived at Port Adelaide, South Australia 22nd
May 1856
— 9th
ship from England to S.A. with government passengers for 1856 ; 3
births and 4 deaths on the passage ; Thomas Le Gay Holthouse ,
surgeon-superintendent.
The Aurora arrived on the 22nd May with 217 souls.
She was commanded by Mr. Valentine Ryan, and Mr. T.L.
Holthouse was the surgeon-superintendent. The immigrants,
generally, were well selected.
In consequence of a complaint having been made of an
insufficient issue of butter during the voyage, the Immigration
Board sat to investigate the circumstances. It was clearly
proved that, owing to some neglect, the quantity of butter
which ought to have been shipped according to the provisions
of the charterparty had not been put on board ; in consequence
of which no butter was issued to the emigrants from the
29th April till the arrival of the ship.
The Immigration Board were of the opinion that carelessness
was shown, and that the terms of the charterparty had
not been fulfilled, so far as regarded the quantity
of butter stipulated to be put on board, and they recommended
that a sum equivalent to three times the value of the
butter short shipped should be deducted from the payment
of freight, and that the certificate on the ship's papers
should be so far modified.
His Excellency the Governor-in-Chief was pleased to approve
of the recommendation of the Board.
The surgeon-superintendent did his job very efficiently,
and states that the master gave him every assistance. |

note: on the Chenoweth family ; the
indices, (BISA) and others show the family traveled as one, as supported
by this
website...
http://www.chenowethsite.com/newsletter/nlvol2-4.htm#down
The Passenger list clearly show the wife Jane, and 8 children travelling
as a single parent, not as a family. This is supported by part of
the passenger list headed Nominee-remittance, which shows Edwin John
as the depositor of the money for the agreement to purchase land.
Up to date I have been unable to find the arrival of Edwin John
in this Colony, but I suspect he travelled at his brother's
expense
on
a ship
other than a Government assisted one. Edwin John's brother William
and family arrived in 1849 aboard the Harry
Lorrequer. |
