Ship Arrival "The Red Jacket" in 1862
I am looking for confirmation of an Anne Sheehan arriving in Australia on the "Red Jacket" in 1862."
Anne was born in 1847 in Limerick, Ireland (daughter of James Sheehan and unknown Downey)so she would have been 15 years old for the voyage.
She apparently travelled with two of her brothers.
Anne married John Stokes in Victoria in 1865.
John Stokes was born in 1832 and was in his 20's.
He was from Limerick, Ireland.
He was a Cooper by trade and was connected with the making of barrels used in the Burke and Wills expedition in 1861, after he arrived in Australia.
John apparently came out to Australia on "The Red Jacket" in 1862.
Thanks
Nadine
