Listening to a audio reading of an except from the shipboard diary of Maria Steley aboard the "Ariadne" passage to Queensland in 1863-64 and detainment at North Stradbroke Island. John & Ann PARSONS and family were passengers on board. http://enc.slq.qld.gov.au/vbook/slq/steley/index.htm These are the gems that make genealogy interesting.
