Small family arrived in Australia between 1851 and 1857.

Small family arrived in Australia between 1851 and 1857.

There is one public tree that has this, not validated..

"Departure
1853 London, England
He was originally employed to travel to Australia to work on the Sydney Morning Herald by John Fairfax but could not go due to quarantine for typhoid (neighbours). Fairfax was not prepared to wait and hired someone else for the job."

And
"Arrival
29 Jul 1854 Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
Fairfax did still honour his promise to send them to Australia. Therefore James and Margaret Small along with their four kids set sail in the crack American clipper, The Racer and arrived in Australia 29th July 1854"

Can't see 'Able Emigrant' on that list.

No hit in Trove in 1850s for that vessel.

That tree appears to have done its homework, I haven't seen it on others yet!
