I am helping a friend with her family history and her GG Grandmother Adelaide Alice RICHARDS (who appears to have gone by the name Alice) says in the 1871 and 1881 Census that she was born in the Bay of Biscay. Her
parents were William RICHARDS born 1813 St Lukes and Mary (BLOCK) born 1828 St Leonards. They were living in Hoxton in both Census' with Alice.
Sue has checked the Births at Sea Register 1854 - 1871 BT158-1-9 the only family she could find was RICHARDSON on the Storm Cloud at London 24.6.1862 we don't think it is them though as it is William RICHARDSON, Wife and 5 Children. In the two census we can find them in the only child is Alice, who was born approximately 1862.
The family cannot be found in the 1861 Census so we are assuming they were abroad at that time.
As she was given the name of Adelaide I was wondering if the family went to Australia? Is there anyway of finding out if they were there in the late 1850's, 1860's?
Any help in obtaining what ship she was born on, when and where she was sailing to or from would be much appreciated.
Regards
Jill
