Subject: [Mariners-L] Wreck of the DUNBAR,Sydney 1857.
Date: Mon, 3 May 1999 22:04:28 +1000


Wreck of the "DUNBAR", Sydney 1857.

A long shot but does anyone have a particular interest
in the wreck of the "Dunbar" off Sydney heads in 1857.

There was a Henry Cummings who died on the wreck.

I am looking for details of my GG grandfather
(Henry William Cummings) who was a ships captain and
the date of his death / the wreck would have been about
the same time frame being between the date of birth of
his youngest child and the 2nd marriage of his widow.

Perhaps, (a big Perhaps), he is the one on the wreck
either as captain, crew or passenger as his widow's
2nd marriage was in Sydney.

Any info re crew / passengers appreciated.

Regards
Paul (Sydney)
