John Horner sailed from London with his Wife Emma (Izatt) on the sailing ship 'Charlotte Groom' which left London 8 December 1886 arriving in Sydney Australia 17 March 1887, where he was met by his twin brother James, who had arrived 2 years earlier on 10 June 1885. In Sydney they settled in Auburn, New South Wales.

I'm having trouble confirming the details of the departure and arrival of 'Charlotte Groom' and its passengers.

Several hits in TROVE after it left Sydney on its way from Newcastle to India. One hit earlier but I can't see the orange highlight and can't find the vessel's name on the page.

Charlotte Groom - For Sydney direct. Sailing on Wednesday 8th Dec -


The article just goes on for another 3 lines saying about how many vacancies they still have and how much it is.

Not much in the papers on this ship.

Thanks gibbo.

Very little indeed about that vessel anywhere.
