Sir George Seymour
Sir George Seymour Passenger List of the chief and fore cabin passengers who arrived by the four ships compiled from the Lyttelton Times 18th January 1851.
Sir George Seymour Passenger List of Steerage passengers compiled from information included in the Immigration Agents and Surgeon Superintendent lists and the Barracks Registers.
While every effort has been made to ensure that the content of this passenger list is accurate, we would recommend that you undertake your own research before relying on the accuracy of the information in the list. E&OE
There is a name missing here which appears on the plaque in Cathedral Square. My husband’s Great Aunt, Catherine Miln, was a passenger on Sir George Seymour.
Thank you for that information – the list has been updated.
Interestingly, in the Christchurch Star 15 December 1900, there is a published list of passengers on the First Four Ships. And your Catherine is in there – but is named as Miss Kate Miln!
You might want to also go over to our sister website: firstfourships.nz where I suspect Catherines name may also be missing
The Denton family were John Frederick Denton, his wife Anne and their 8 children.
His wife Anne and 3 of his children died in 1851 from fever.
The Arthur John mentioned above was one of the children aged 16 at the time and was married in 1857
