Who was on the Chyebassa, September-October 1885? The whole lot.

So who else was on the Chyebassa with Samuel and Jane Drew and family? A whole mob of people! Looks like quite a few were born on the voyage, too. This is an incentive to get a copy of the passenger list - apparently, it can be had from the Queensland Archives for $12.

And I wonder if the Harvey family is from Cornwall, and possibly relatives of Drew? Probably not - a preliminary look at the Census shows that there are at least two Harvey families mixed up in the list, one of which is from Puddletown, Dorset.

Redundant 59 year old jobseeker said...

hi,I have a great great aunt called Susannah Soppitt (family tree research!) born in 1867, who emigrated to Australia! that would have made her 18, same as on your passenger list of chyebassa1i 1885! The name is not common, I'm guessing it's the same person! Probably with older cousin or uncle! Do you have any more info on where ship sailed from, where it docked etc..?
Best wishes, julia

The ship sailed from London, and docked in Brisbane.

Sorry it took so long to reply - I haven't checked this blog for a while.

Mike_T_UK said...

hi julia/geof, I too have a great great aunt Susannah Soppitt born same year so guess it's one and the same! Just found out from your blog abut her emigrating in 1885 - amazing. Thx for the info. Julia, have you traced the family tree any further back than Henry Soppitt, born 1829?

Geoff_D said...

julia and Mike_T, I hope that you read this, You must think I'm awful for not responding. It was about that time that I began to feel unwell and lost interest in many of my activities. A year later, I was diagnosed with something dreadful, and am only now getting over the effects of the disease and its treatment.

I have added some more that I have discovered about Susannah in the latest post.

What a great Blog! I just stumbled on this looking for more detail about my forebear family - the Halls (William, Sarah, and their daughters Margaret, Martha and Annie. In fact Margaret was already married to Thomas Baker whom you will also see on the list. They were married in Durham in December 1884.

Glad you found it of use, Gary. I did have the intention to try to find out more about all the others on the ship, but time is the big constraint.
