DUDBROOK ARRIVAL JUNE 20 1862 - STEERAGE PASSENGERS

This passenger list shows the 146 Government-aided Immigrants referred to without identification (as is usually the case with steerage passengers) in the Natal Witness June 27 1862. There were two births and one death of an infant during the voyage. The immigrants paid between 10 and 5 pounds for their passage. Note the number of children, many very young, on board - e.g. the RUSSELL family travelling with 9 and the FROSTS with 6. The Dudbrook, a barque of 571 tons, was larger than some of the Byrne immigrant ships, but the cramped conditions in steerage must have been a severe trial for these families.

John GAVIN, shown as "engineer, Durban" stood surety to David CRABB, a shoemaker, and Benjamin LAWRENCE, blacksmith. Alexander BOOKLESS, a plumber, was a relative of his surety, Robert BOOKLESS (sometimes BOOKLASS), "smith at Durban", who had arrived on the Ina. Thomas Amos's surety was John Byers AMOS, watchmaker of Pietermaritzburg. William Pinkerton KNOX, "carpenter at Durban", stood surety to John MITCHELL. A note in the register re Henry PHELPS tells us he was a farmer at Mooi River, and across this is scrawled "dead". The SWAN family's surety was David WEBSTER, sugar planter at Hill Head, Verulam, who died shortly before the arrival of the Dudbrook, and that of the RAPSONs, Josiah RAPSON, "builder, Durban". The WESTONS came out under the auspices of Samuel MARRIOTT, bricklayer of Claremont.
