World Vital Records - An Affordable Option
The 'Ship John Fielden' has made an excellent run of ninety days from Liverpool on 11th March 1853, made the Cape of Good Hope in 59 days, off Sydney on 84th day, and took the pilot on board inside Moreton Bay on Saturday last. Berthed on 19 June 1853. In latitude 34 S longitude 23W, spoke the 'Marco Polo' outward bound, which vessel had left Liverpool a day after the 'Ship John Fielden'. Spoke the 'Ariel' from London, for Aloga Bay, in latitude 30 S, longitude 23 W. On the voyage one of the supernumerary seamen of the 'Ship John Fielden' jumped overboard and was drowned. On coming into Moreton Bay CAPTAIN CLARKE was taken rather aback upon finding no buoys to mark the ship channel, as shown upon his chart; for it appears that the buoys recently laid down are now all carried away again. He had no alternative but to hang about the neighbourhood of the spot where he thought the channel ought to be until the pilot came on board, when it was too hazy to proceed, and he was therefore obliged to cast anchor in the open sea channel. The consequence was that the cable parted, and he had to get down another anchor, and breaking his windlass in hoisting the second anchor next morning. The ship was then brought over to the usual anchorage ground, off the Brisbane. The immigrants are all well. Berthed on 19 June 1853. The original number of immigrants embarked was 393 - four deaths and seven births on the passage."

916 tons was published in the Moreton Bay Courier 18 June 1853. On the film, from which this list was copied, the year 1853 was crossed out and 1854 put in. Although the Statement at the beginning of this list states ". . . four deaths and seven births on the passage", Thomas Guerin, passenger #110 was the only death indicated, and three births were annotated: passengers #127, HUNT, Infant male; #199, O'NEIL, Infant; and #229, PURCELL, Infant girl. Several other Infants were listed as passengers, but none of those indicated that they were born on board. To clarify where some of the previous domiciles are located, below is a list of counties for each country.

SCOTLAND: Edinburgh, which is in Midlothian, East Lothian, Stirlingshire, Perthshire, Renfrewshire, Forfarshire, Glasgow is in Dumbartonshire, Aberdeenshire, Lanarkshire, Fifeshire.

Timothy, Mary (Klein), Margaret (Fahy), John and Patrick are known to have married and had children. Notes on the JOHN FIELDEN from Palmer's List of Merchant Vessels:
JOHN FIELDEN (1846) According to the annual volumes of Lloyd's Register of Shipping for 1851/52-1857/58, the British ship, JOHN FIELDEN, 916 tons, was built at New Brunswick in 1846. It is possible that she ws build by James Briggs, who built both the ship MOUNTAINEER, 869 tons, and the ship EDINBURGH, 941 tons, in 1840. Lloyd's Register gives no measurements for the JOHN FIELDEN, although if she was indeed built by Briggs, judging from her tonnage she was approximately 145 feet x 33 feet x22 feet(length x beam x depth of hold).

Clem Ditton Correspondence added February 28, 2007, Passengers 111-114, Glasscock I would like to add my contact details for the ship "John Fielden" which sailed from England to Moreton Bay, Australia, arriving on 18.6.1854. On board was a family Glasscock - Charles, Eliza, Emily, & Pharvel (Paul/Pharraah - later known as Thomas). This family had 2 further children and during that time made their way to Sydney, where Charles died in 1865. Eliza remarried that same year to a German immigrant, Johann Heinrich Broers. This couple became my GreatGrandparents. They had 4 children, and lived at Nowra, NSW. Eliza died in 1874 leaving a very young family; the youngest was my grandfather, who was 3 at the time. Thank you, Kerry Payne (Mrs.)
