My great great grandparents, Simeon Ireland and Fanny Napper, married in South Petherton, Somerset in March 1862. A week later they sailed to Melbourne with Fanny's sister Eliza and her new husband, Robert Denman on the ship Boanerges, arriving on 10th July 1862.

I have written an article about this voyage. If you would like a copy please contact me including details of your interest in this voyage.

The passenger list of the Boanerges is available at the Public Records Office of Victoria website
