Barnards from Somerton - name of ship to America
Posted by: Margaret a (ID *****3223) Date: April 23, 2008 at 22:35:13

I recently found the obituary of my gg-grandmother, Ann Davis, who married Indoe Barnard (son of Thomas and Amelia Barnard) in Somerton England in May of 1846. Although obituaries are notorious for having inaccurate information, clues can be gleaned from them. In Ann's obit, the statement was made: "....Ann was married on May 18, 1846 to one Indo Barnard. Four days later they sailed for America on the ship, 'Anna Car' ". I believe the ship most likely ended its voyage in New York because the family was in Staten Island for a year before moving west.

Does anyone have any information on ship passenger lists? (the website ISTG doesn't list this ship), or other suggestions on finding this ship? The dates may differ somewhat, since I have their marriage date as 7 May 1846, from the Somerton parish records.

I appreciate any suggestions for further searches.
Margaret
