THE WANSFELL.
This ship, the pioneer of the Black Ball line in these waters, arrived at Cape Moreton on Sunday last, June 24, after a passage of 97 days. She left Southampton on March 18, and thence made a run of 25 days to the Equator. From the mouth of the channel she had steady winds and pleasant weather until she reached 15 deg. S., and in that latitude she was detained 15 days by calms. She ran down her easting on the 45th parallel, and had pleasant weather and the usual winds until she made Tasmania, which was on June 10. On the Australian coast she had her share of the late bad weather, which so far delayed her that she was 14 days on the passage from Tasmania to Cape Moreton. Throughout, the run may be considered as having been an agreeable one, only one casualty having occurred. This was the loss of a seaman, who fell overboard. He was engaged in reefing the mizen topsail during a gale of wind, before which the ship was running, when he lost his hold and fell off the yard- In his descent he struck the shear bar, a rod of iron about an inch in diameter, with such force that he broke it away from its fastenings, and bent it double. The unfortunate fellow must have been killed by the blow before he reached the water. The Wansfell brings 287 immigrants, under the auspices of the Imperial Emigration Commissioners. Of this number 218 have come out under the remittance system, and the balance 69 under the general orders. They were under the care of Dr. Perm on the passage, and there has neither been a death nor a birth. The nationalities are thus divided: —English, 36 remittance, 23 general; total, 59. Irish, 172 remit sance, 43 general; total, 225. Scotch, 10 remittance, 3 general; total, 13. Grand total, 287. The passengers may also be classified thus: Married people, 30 souls ; single men, 101; single women, 126; children, between 1 and 12, males, 14; females, 15; infants, under 1 year, 1; total, 287 souls. The passengers were landed on Wednesday forenoon by the Kate, which went down to the bay on the previous afternoon for that purpose. She got alongside the ship at 4.30 p.m., and immediately commenced transhipping the luggage. This was accomplished at 8 p.m. Notwithstanding the violence of the wind, which was gusty and squally in the extreme, the water was quite smooth, and the Kate lay alongside the ship all night. The wind, which was westerly, was intensely cold, particularly towards sunrise, when it was exceedingly squally. The passengers were landed at the Queen's Wharf at 10.30 a.m., when they were forthwith quartered in the depot. Among the single girls are a large number of domestic servants, and we learn that there are sixty of these now in the depot for hire.¹⁰

     As my research into this family progressed, I was constantly coming across information that was either contradicting other people's research or was, in my opinion, incorrectly transcribed or interpreted.
To satisfy my own thoughts, I have re-researched all of the information that I had previously gathered for this family and together with new 'facts' found in this latest endeavour, I believe that what I now have is a true and correct statement of the history of the four/five people who are the ones mainly involved here:
Aaron Bull; Ellen Wall; Dinah Hall and John Beaumont Sweet/Mary Hall.

In the course of my research, I have expanded some families with information from Births; Baptisms; Marriages; Deaths and Burials, Census Returns, Passenger Lists, Newspaper Articles etc. to verify my findings.
     
---------- 0 ----------

Aaron Bull was the first person in this quest that I had originally entered some 10 years ago and I discovered very early on that his recorded information was a little more complicated than that of nearly everyone else.
The name – Aaron Bull is Registered on only 3 Birth occasions, on 2 Marriages and 3 Deaths between the commencement of BMD entries in 1837 and 1966. 2 of the Births have highly probable Registered Deaths, making the 1 remaining Marriage Registration in 1858 ‘fit’ well with the age of ‘our’ Aaron Bull in subsequent Census Entries. It has to be understood that NOT every Birth was Registered and this is so in the case of ‘our’ Aaron, but we do have a Baptism.
The details of the Marriage of Aaron Bull to Ellen Wall have been transcribed from a Copy of the Marriage Certificate and therefore is established as a good Source.
In the 1861 UK Census Aaron is listed at 3 places, in the first one he is listed with his wife and son and confirms his Occupation.
Ellen and her husband Aaron appear to have been in the Bradford/Leeds area from about 1864 onwards and from my research, it may never be known which marriage broke up first, but Aaron fathered a child by a married lady, Dinah Shutt, in the early part of 1865, the child's Birth being registered in Wakefield. Ellen and their 3 children left to go to Australia in March 1866.

Aaron continued to live with his 'wife' Dinah, in Bradford in 1871 and in Bolsover in 1881, before together going to Ireland where they both lived, Dinah died in 1905, Aaron married again in 1912 to a Mary Russell, he died in Co. Kildare, Ireland in 1915.
John Sweet's last recorded address prior to his leaving England was in NW Leeds.
It is however also possible that John Beaumont sweet and Ellen Bull may have met and planned their emigration in England. John and Ellen (and her 3 children) travelled on the same vessel from England to Brisbane, Queensland and may have met for the first time on the voyage. They arrived at Brisbane on 26 June 1866.
It should be noted that the registered details for their Marriage on 4 August 1866 and show that the Participants were John Beaumont Sweet and Ellen WALL.
John and Ellen had 5 children between 1870 and 1877 and for reasons not yet established they returned to England in early 1878. The family was Enumerated in the 1881 Census in Nottingham including Emma Bull, a daughter of her marriage to Aaron Bull.
     Ellen Sweet is next recorded in the 1891 Census in Nottingham as the Head of the Household and a Widow and again in 1901, this time with Emma (who now has the surname of Sweet), her son Charles and Maud. Both daughters are self-employed Dressmakers. (Both Emma and Maud Mary return to Queensland, probably after their mother’s Death, where they live for over 30 years and continue as self-employed Dress Makers).
Ellen Sweet died in Nottingham in 1906. No record of the Death of her husband John has been located in England between the time of the 1881 Census and Ellen’s Death in early 1906.

     Further research for John Beaumont Sweet shows that only 2 occurrences of the name appear when using a Google search. The Canadian one can be discounted as it is much later than the one I was looking for, leaving a John Beaumont Sweet, Born c1845 in Hunslet, Leeds, Yorkshire. Importantly in all of the records he is consistently shown as of ‘Hunslet’ and his age is also correct.
He ‘marries’ in Mansfield in Nottinghamshire in May 1883 to a Mary Hall.
Interestingly John and Ellen are listed in the 1891 Census in Nottingham living less than 3 miles apart. In 1881 he is employed as a Corn & Flour Broker and as a Flour Seller in 1891.
In 1901 he has gone North with his wife, now known as Marie, to a district of Sheffield, he is ‘Living on Own Means’ and Marie operating a ‘Registry for Servants’. They are next recorded in 1911 in Cherry Street in the city of Birmingham where they are ‘Caretaker of Offices’, they have been married for 27 years and have had no children.
     His death was Registered in the Birmingham South Register Office in 1926 at the age of 81 years, which finally confirms his year of birth as c1845. I have not found any Probate record for his Estate.

This Anecdote has been written in an attempt to alert other researchers of these families to the diverse ‘facts’ which now are probably very close to the truth…

Of all the sailing ships engaged in the transport of immigrants to Queensland, none has ever had such world-wide renown in the heyday of her fame as the beautiful Flying Cloud, one of the earliest creations from the Boston shipyard of Donald M'Kay, all of which made sensational records for speedy sailing in the trades in which, they were employed.

Another ship whose name became familiar to thousands of Queenslanders was the Royal Dane, also an Americanbuilt ship, known to the mercantile world for the first few years of her life as the Sierra Nevada. Although the sailing achievements of the Flying Cloud were more astonishing than any credited to the Sierra Nevada, the latter, nevertheless, was in the first flight of the extreme clippers which made notable passages between New York and San Francisco in the 1850-60 decade.

On her maiden voyage from New York to San Francisco in 1851 the Flying Cloud astonished the world by sailing through the Golden Gate on the 89th day from clearing Sandy Hook-a feat never previously accom-plished and only twice equalled sub-sequently, once by the Flying Cloud herself three years later, and once in 1860 by the Andrew Jackson. That first remarkable performance was not the result of particularly favourable winds and weather. On the contrary, more than one handicap had to be overcome. Three days out from New York the main and mizzen topgallant masts chashed down from aloft, and the maintopsail yard snapped in twain. That mess had to be cleared up, but with smart seamanship, grit, and determination this was done, and new masts and yards sent up, and everything made shipshape within 24 hours. A few days later it was found that the mainmast was badly sprung about a foot below the masthead, and the Flying Cloud, this had to be "fished." On the 38th day out, in a storm, accompanied by severe thunder and lightning, with the topsails double-reefed, the fore and maintopmast staysails were split. Later in the same day the discovery was made that the mainmast had sprung. The royal and topgallant yards were sent down, and the studding sail booms taken off the lower and topsail yards to relieve the strain.

MEN IN IRONS.
There had been trouble with the crew earlier in the voyage, and several of the men had been put in irons. Their services were urgently needed in the emergency which had arisen, and Captain Creesy found it politic to release them and give them an assurance that if they helped the ship out of her troubles all the black marks recorded against them would be wiped out. Rounding Cape Horn, with strong gales and a high sea running, the distance run in 24 hours by observation was 374 miles, and, during the squalls, 18 knots of line was not sufficient to measure the rate of speed. Towards the end of the voyage the foretopgallant mast carried away, and a new one was sent up on the following day. The ship dropped anchor in San Francisco Harbour after a passage of 89 days 21 hours. During 26 consecutive days the Flying Cloud had sailed 5912 miles, an average of 227 miles a day, or within a fraction of 91 knots; and for four consecutive days a total of 1256 miles, or 314 miles a day, an average speed of 13 a knots. The Flying Cloud also made some passages from China to New York with tea cargoes in remarkably fast time.

The Flying Cloud was purchased by James Baines and Coy., Liverpool, in 1862, and made her first voyage with immigrants to Moreton Bay under the Black Ball flag, under the command of Captain H. O. Keen, arriving on January 15, 1863. She came out again twelve months later, with the same "skipper" In charge. She paid five subsequent visits to Moreton Bay under Captains O. Jones, D, Morgan, H. Hughes, and J. L. Owen. Returning to London after a trip to Maryborough in 1870, the Flying Cloud was sold to a firm in South Shields, England. In June, 1874, she became stranded on the coast of New Brunswick. She was floated off and towed into St. John, where she was put on a slip for repairs. While under repairs a fire broke out on board, and the damage was so extensive that she was never fit to go to sea again.

ROYAL DANE'S CAREER.
Built at New York, in 1854, the Sierra Nevada (to use her original name) proved herself worthy of inclusion among the best of the clippers by her early passages on the Cape Horn route between New York and San Francisco. When acquired by James Baines and Coy. for the Black Ball fleet her name was changed to Royal Dane, as a compliment to the Danish princess, Alexandra, who had married the Prince of Wales, afterwards Edward VII. On her first appearance in Queensland waters she was bound for Keppel Bay, with 540 immigrants, and she dropped anchor in that harbourage on July 25, 1865, after an excellent passage of 93 days. She was then commanded by Captain Lewis Davies, who afterwards brought her out to Moreton Bay in 1867 and 1869, each time with a large number of new settlers.

In 1870 Captain Daniel R Bolt and Mr. George Cater, who had been master and mate respectively in the Young Australia, transferred in like capacities to the Royal Dane. Both were well and favourably known in Queensland over a long course of years. Under Captain Bolt the Royal Dane voyaged to Keppel Bay in 1870 and to Moreton Bay in the following year.

It was rather a coincidence that the next commander of the Royal Dane, Captain James Cooper, should also have been master of the Young Australia just before his appointment to the other ship. It was after the wreck of the Young Australia on Moreton Island, an unfortunate happening, for which Captain Cooper was not in any way blamed. Under Captain Cooper the Royal Dane made two voyages to Moreton Bay in 1873 and 1874 she was then withdrawn from the Queensland trade; and, with the same commander, made two or three voyages from Mobile, Alabama, to London or Liverpool, with cotton. She ended her career by foundering off the Chilean coast, near San Carlos, on June 15, 1878.

Captain Cooper afterwards returned to and settled in Queensland, and was for some years in the service of the Harbours and Rivers Department. Captain Bolt was subsequently appointed by the Queensland Government as Inspector of Immigrant ships in London. He later went to sea again, and had command of the ship Harbinger, a well-known passenger vessel on the London to Melbourne run.^7,8
