HEERJEEBHOY RUSTOMJEE PATEL 1846

from Bremn 27 - 06 1846 with Captain Laun, arrived Port Adelaide on 28-10-1846.

The PATEL, as it is generally called (560 tons) sailed from Bremen on its second voyage to Australia on June 27, 1846, under the same captain, Laun, who was in charge on the first voyage in 1845. It arrived at Port Adelaide on October 28, 1846, with 250 cabin and steerage passengers. Reporting this arrival, the South Australian Register stated: “On board the crowded Bremen ship there was not a single death;
but, on the contrary, the original number of souls to be added to our community was increased by five born on the passage”.

The published list of passengers accounts for approximately 214 persons (allowing 2 where “brothers” are listed).
Approximately 36 are thus unaccounted for; the lists below suggest some additions. As the identification of names poses difficulties, the undersigned will be pleased to hear from anyone who can supply information from other sources.

The sources used for identification, indicated by abbreviation, are: Ald: Aldine History of S.A.; K: records of Pastor A. Kappler; L/meil, Langmeil; LP Imm. Light Pass Immanuel N: Naturalisation Lists; St.St.: St Stephen’s, Adelaide; Tan. Alm. Tanunda Almanac 1865.

Prepared by (Rev.) H. F. W. Proeve and supplied as an extracts from the 1973 Yearbook, the report then lists, in alphabetical order, name, occupation, town of origin, and their current occupation/location at time of compilation for the respective emigrants from PATEL, together with specific details on local descendants.

This Passenger has been transcribed from the SA REGISTER Newspaper (October 1846),
and updated from research done by Eric and Rosemary Kopittke, and the Queensland Family History Society.
