2 unusual facts about Thomas Caterer


Thomas Caterer

-- Everything matches except age reported as 27 not 25, travelling with "single women" (though that may simply mean "solo"), and why was she not in a cabin (OK, to save money; Thomas worked his passage as tutor to children on board)? None of these problems insurmountable but not watertight--> She was an educated and accomplished woman who had been secretary to Elihu Burritt for some years.

Thomas's younger brother, Frederick Isaac Caterer (ca.1840 – ca. 24 August 1892) was born in Peppard, Oxfordshire, and arrived in Adelaide around 1866.
