On 14 January 1859 the English ship the "Strathallan" 551 tons, wooden ship, W. R. Williamson, arrived from Gravesend with the first significant influx of about 120 immigrants to Timaru, South Canterbury, New Zealand and she sailed for Lyttelton on the evening of 17 January. She left the Downs on the 15th October, and thus made a splendid passage of 81 days. There being no harbour at Timaru, she had to anchor in the roadstead at Timaru and land her passengers. Reference: The Lyttelton Times Jan. 26 1859.
The Strathallan arrived, 90 days out to Timaru, or 82 from land to land. She stood in boldly and dropped her anchor, the weather being very boisterous; when it cleared, on the Sunday, she stood in 3 miles further, and landed part of her passengers for that place, the next morning she landed the remainder, baggage and all, and sailed the same evening for Lyttelton. She had a few over 200 steerage passengers from London, of whom she disembarked 111 souls, bringing on the remainder.
Great expedition was shown in getting the people landed with their baggage, the whole proceeding lasting scarcely more than 24 hours. We learn that the boatmen were inclined to take advantage of the opportunity to make extravagant demands, and that they were going to charge 10s. ahead; but that they afterwards commuted it to £40 for the whole job. Mr Rhodes' wool-shed was made ready for the reception of the party, and it appears that they were lodged with tolerable comfort. What is most important is that there was no difficulty in obtaining employment, every hand, with scarcely an exception, being at once engaged. Messrs. Rhodes, we understand, provided against even temporary want of work. by offering a fortnight's employment to a very large number at once. The only accident which happen was the swamping of the last boat but one when on the beach; no serious damage was done. The Strathallan brings a full complement of cabin passengers, as well as steerage immigrants. Reference: Otago Witness February 5th 1859.

Emigration to Canterbury : Shipping Lists 1856-1874½ an Adult
The ships and masters were limited, by the "The Passenger Acts". (different Acts for different countries at different times, but all along the same vein with the result being better conditions for the emigrant), to 2 tons displacement per passenger. (varied for different time/countries). As part of the Act(s), children were considered ½ an adult, for under 14 (sometimes under 12) and 1/3 an adult under 7. Infants were free. As you can imagine, this sometimes caused Captains to "fudge" the ages, to cram more on board, but it also caused the parents to do the same, because the fares for children were rated with the same percentage. This is why some people find their "rellies" with an age two or three years younger than they expect!! Sue Swiggum co-owner TheShipsListIMPORTS

Groves.The Strathallan has arrived, ninety days out to Timaru, or eighty-two from land to land. As announced in our last issue, she went into Timaru on Friday last, but the statement of her getting under way again was not correct. She stood in boldly and dropped her anchor, the weather being very boisterous; when cleared, on Sunday, she stood in 3 miles further, and landed part of her passengers for that place, and next morning she landed the remainder, baggage and all, and sailed the same evening, since when she has been beating up the coast. She had a few over 200 steerage passengers from London, of whom she disembarked 111 souls, bringing on the remainder. She arrived too late and brought up at too great a distance from town to enable us to compile a list of those who have been brought ashore; but the following are those who, being shipped for Timaru, did not stay: - John MacDonald and wife and Enoch Barker and family. Great expedition was shown in getting the people landed with baggage, while the whole proceeding lasting scarcely more than 24 hours. We learn that the boatmen were inclined to take advantage of the opportunity to make extravagant demands, and that they were going to charge 10s a head; but that they afterwards commuted it to £40 for the whole job. Mr. Rhodes's wool-shed was made ready for the reception with tolerable comfort. What is most important is that there was no difficulty in obtaining employment, every hand, with scarcely an exception, being at once engaged. Messrs.

The biography outlines the main events in Elizabeth's life, including the upbringing of her children, and provides a picture of pioneering life in South Canterbury. Elizabeth Ward (1831-1927) and her husband, Robert Ward (1836-1875), emigrated to New Zealand from Scotland on the Strathallan in 1858 and took up farming at Pareora near Timaru. Robert was killed in a farm accident in Jun 1875 and Elizabeth continued to farm there, remarrying twice, firstly to Robert Stokes then to John Ward, nephew of her first husband.

The heavy moorings for Timaru are on board the Strathallan. That vessel is under contract to lay them down. They are guaranteed, and have been tested by the Admiralty to hold ships of 1,000 to 1,200 tons.
The name "Strathallan" has been applied to streets in Timaru and Dunedin, a farm on Ashwick Flat, Fairlie as well as a few businesses in the South Canterbury region.

DAMAGE BY FIRE
(BY Telegraph.— PRESS ASSOCIATION) TIMARU, 7th December The Strathallan homestead, near Fairlie, was destroyed by fire this mottling. The fire was started by sparks from the burning of trees, uprooted by the recent gale. Some of the furniture was saved. The shearing shed belonging to Mr, Roach at Orari was burned early this morning with shearing machines, engine, 200 sheep, and five bales of wool. A fierce gale was blowing. The fire was probably caused by a spark from the engine boiler.

Uncovering
the Strathallan's secrets
By Rhonda Markby - The Timaru Herald | Tuesday, 13 March 2007
EARLY SETTLERS: Alan McKenzie has completed biographies of most of the passengers on the Strathallan, the first immigrant ship to Timaru. Among those on board were Augustus and Charlotte Bambridge who are buried in the Temuka Cemetery. So you can proudly trace your family tree back to the Strathallan, the first ship to bring immigrants to Timaru? Well you could be in for a surprise when some of the family secrets emerge – thanks to a book being written by Timaru man Alan McKenzie, to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the ship's arrival. About 100 people were on board when the first immigrant ship arrived at Timaru in January 1859, and Mr McKenzie has managed to produce biographies for all but about 20 of them. His plan is to have all the biographies completed in time for a book to be published for the 150th anniversary celebrations of the Strathallan's arrival. Still to be completed are those of the passengers who have been the most difficult to trace. His hope is someone may already have biographical details on them, saving him having to hunt them down. What he does know is not all those who think they are descendants of the very first settlers actually are, and those who are, may not be so impressed when they learn of the goings-on of their forebears. There are those who always thought their relatives arrived on the Strathallan simply because they arrived in Timaru in 1859. After further research Mr McKenzie found their names on passenger lists for vessels which actually berthed in Lyttelton, with the passengers later making their way south. Of course the passenger lists weren't always accurate. There were those who were meant to be on earlier assisted voyages but missed the sailing. Their names didn't appear on the Strathallan's passenger list even though they were on board. Then there was the man who claimed he had arrived on the Strathallan. He did, but his name wasn't on the list because he was a runaway sailor. And of course not all those who arrived were upstanding citizens. "There may be some things families will not be pleased to see (what their relatives got up to) – like those who appeared in court cases; mostly just theft and fighting," Mr McKenzie said of some of the material he has uncovered.
Still on the list to be found are.- William Berrill (carpenter) and his wife Abigail from Bedfordshire, England; George Gordon, his wife Christine and their family, who settled at Gordon's Valley; Frederick Kohn, his wife Catherine and their family, from Germany; Richard Wade (farm worker) and his wife Emma, from Middlesex, England; H. Healey who did not appear on the passenger list, but appeared in a newspaper report of the ship's arrival; John Clark (farm worker and shepherd) from Aberdeen, Scotland; William Murray (farm servant), from Scotland; James Proudfoot, from Perthshire in Scotland who may have settled at Orari; John Pollock (labourer), from Ireland; John Stewart (farm servant), from Scotland; Charles Smith (bricklayer) who may have farmed in the Winchester area; John Thomas Morris who is remembered for his poetry contributions to the Timaru Herald; John or Jack Hughes, Charles Fraser and Sarah Downs who were not on the passenger list, but in 1909 attended the early settlers jubilee dinner, stating they had arrived on the Strathallan. Anyone with information on the missing settlers can contact Mr McKenzie by email. and cc Olwyn
