*No mention of fathers in index information.
Have been searching shipping records before this date but as yet have found no evidence of their existence before 1848. Wondering if they might be from interstate.
"Walvisch" passenger ship to South Australia 1853
From hospital records I have discovered that ancestors with the names BERESFORD, FOWLER / TAYLOR (need to find and check those notes for details) came to South Australia in 1853 on the ship "Walwich / Walvisch". Reading an earlier posting on this subject. It seems those passenger lists were destroyed in a fire. However, from the Passengers In History website, which is an amalgamation of information from SA Maritime Museum, newspaper shipping intelligence articles and crowd sourcing (http://passengersinhistory.sa.gov.au) the ship came to South Australia 3 times, see below. Has anyone found any further additions to these passenger lists? I'm looking for information about William BERESFORD / BERRESFORD and Sarah nee FOWLER / TAYLOR who were married in North Adelaide on 28/2/1853 and are the parents of Charlotte nee BERESFORD who married Thomas David ALLEN on 19/9/1877 in Adelaide.
