Narrative

Marie Boyce in her family history book 'Family History and Genealogy of John Mee Married Agnes Pannowitz' shows John Mee arriving in Brisbane aboard the Southesk on the 17th, March 1877. He later apears in Victoria. This claim needs to be verified. There is a 5 yr age discrepancy between John and the one arriving in Brisbane. Also the age of the John arriving in Brisbane would seem to fit with the family group he arrived with.

Ref: http://www.archives.qld.gov.au/Researchers/ImmigrationIndexes/Documents/Southesk_1877_QSA_Item_ID_18477.pdf page 8.

Another possibility is John Mee aged 17, born 1856 (the correct age) arriving in Port Adelaide 1875 aboard the Hesperides. In this case the age is correct and the location seems more probable. As in Marie's case there is no indication that this is the correct John David Mee.
