Re: [TSL] Voyages to USA and Australia

Apologies to all 
I'm working on the story of two brothers. One Frederick James Gardner (b
Dumfries 1873) 'went to USA' and we've little information about when but he
is in Newcastle upon Tyne till 1911 and from 1935.. So I'll have to work on
that for a bit before coming back to you all.

The other William Henry Fenwick Gardner (b Dumfries 1871) possibly went to
Australia. 

I found a Henry Gardner age 22 (English) who travelled to Freemantle,
Australia on the Rotokino leaving from Southampton on  May 10, 1893.  Source
BT27/136/1

The real question was would he have time to return to Tyneside to get
married on September 10, 1893?


I now have the answer ..  As this was a steam ship no problem getting there
in short order ... And back on a another steam ship.

But I have not yet found evidence of the return journey so do not know if
this was the same man.


Tanks for the interest.



Robin
