• Name	George William STEELE
  Born	01 Jan 1839	Berkshire, England
  Gender	Male
  Immigration	22 Jun 1848	Melbourne, Victoria, Australia   [1, 2]
  	"Adelaide" arrived 22 June 1848, ship 539 tons, from England 13 March 1848. Captain Stephen Wharton, Surgeon Superintindent James Barlas. Brought 268 immigrants, being 177 English, with some Irish and Scots. Six babies were born and only 5 deaths. William aged 33, labourer, can neither read or write and his wife Mary (Gardner) aged 32, who can read and write, arrived in 1848 with their 4 children George 10 (cannot read nor write), Elizabeth 6 (cannot read nor write), Edmund 4 (cannot read nor write, and Mary Infant (born on the journey). Their religion being Church of England. The Maitland Mercury & Hunter River General Advertiser (NSW : 1843 - 1893), Wednesday 7 June 1848, page 2 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article711348 The ship Adelaide, 639 tons, Wharton, was to sail from London on the 10th, and Plymouth on the 20th February, with emigrants for Port Phillip. Geelong Advertiser (Vic. : 1847 - 1851), Saturday 24 June 1848, page 2 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article91457855 The Adelaide arrived here yesterday, ninety eight days out. She spoke the Seringapatam for Sydney on the 8th instant, in long. 98 east, lat. 43 south, 100 days. This vessel had sprung a leak the day before, but not of much consequence. The emigrants by the Adelaide are of a superior description, being principally English, and the Scotch and Irish sprinkled among them appear to be of an improved quality. We were unable to obtain her manifest in consequence of the captain imagining that he would injure the consignees by allowing it to be published. We learned, however, that her cargo consisted of but a few hogsheads of rum and brandy. The latest paper on board was dated 5th March, but we hear that a mail was put on board at Plymouth on the 13th of the same month. There is no additional political uews of interest to communicate, at least we were so informed by Captain Wharton. The mail is a very large one. The doctor informs us that there were five births and one death (a female) during the passage. Patriot.
