THE AYRSHIRE EMIGRANTS OF 1854 - From Girvan Harbour The Port Phillip Herald, June 9th, 1859 - Advertisement, Page 3 Transcribed and contributed by Christine Randall [rrandall1@vtown.com.au] In the year 1854 ninety-four persons (whose names are given below) emigrated from Girvan, in Ayrshire, to the colony of Victoria by the ship, Queen of the East. They were enabled so to do by means of the Family Colonial Emigration Society (of which Mr Parker was secretary), and the necessary funds were provided by Miss Burdett Coutts through that society. Each of the emigrants undertook to repay the sum advanced to him or her. It is requested that any of the emigrants who have repaid the money advanced to them, or any part of it, will give the following information:- What they have repaid? Where they repaid it? To whom they repaid it? And further those who have made no repayment and are now in improved circumstances, are earnestly requested to now fulfil their engagement. They are reminded that the money was advanced with the intention that on its repayment it should again be employed for emigration purposes, and in extending to others of their fellow countrymen benefits similar to those which they themselves have received. Any information relating to these emigrants may be communicated to P. B. FRANKLYN, Esq. Melbourne, or WILLIAM JAMES FARRER Solicitor to Miss Burdett Coutts 66?
