Who was on the Chyebassa, September-October 1885?

So who were the people that travelled with the Drew family when they set out on their journey to the Colonies? From the Autograph books of Great-aunts Ella and Jen, we can glean several names; Avon, Juster, Smalley, Crago, Mrs. Stafford, and Matron. The full passenger list shows a large number of people that travelled on that trip.

To avoid cluttering this Blog with extraneous names, I have created a new blog for the Chyebassa and its passengers. It can be found at: http://chyebassaoct85.blogspot.com/

ANZAC Day

ANZAC Day, 25^th April, is almost upon us. Ancestry.com has been in touch with me to supply material on Jack Drew's war service as part of a full broadsheet spread 'advertorial' for the ANZAC Day edition of the Sydney Morning Herald.

Cheers

19 April. The draft layout has come through for approval, and Grandad Jack's pic (similing, with a mate) is the feature photograph. Dad also has a pic in there, playing grandad's cornet. So Grandad, Dad, and the cornet all get a mention to tie the sotry together. The other stories are good, too. I will email the draft out later on.
