Thomas Latter (1837-1927)

Thomas Latter arrived in Australia with his parents and siblings aboard the Aloe in August a857. During this voyage, he wrote a journal of his trip. This journal is availabe for viewing at Newcastle Regional Library. I know this because I have been researching a John Blackhall, seaman, who arrived on this same voyage and promptly took 'permanent shore leave'. He had a reward for his capture of 2 pounds placed on his head but lucky for me, as he was my great grandfather, he was never found. He turned up in Mudgee about ten years later.
