DUCHESS OF NORTHUMBERLAND - 1847

Extract from The South Australian Register, Saturday October 30th 1847 - SHIPPING INTELLEGENCE
This ship, of 541tons, with 254 emigrants, arrived here last night after a fine passage of 101 days,
having sailed from London on the 8th and taken a final departure from Plymouth, on the 20th July.
The Surgeon Superintendent is M.A. Bowden Esq., and the emigrants were under the spiritual care of
the Rev. J.C. Bagshaw, a clergyman of the Established Church, by whom Divine Service was conducted
and the sacred rites administered during the passage.

Some additional names have been added (shown in red) to the PASSENGER LIST published in the SA REGISTER.
It is likely these people did travel on the 'Duchess' but we are still seeking confirmation.

Both the “Register and the “Adelaide Observer” for 30/10/1847 were compared. Where some names in the Register were not clear,
I was able to refer to the Observer. I therefore believe this to be an accurate list.       Cheers, Rob Dyer
