Georg SCHUNKE

Comment

I believe this person is Georg Heinrich Wilhelm Schunke, my great great grandfather. He was born in 1836, which means he was 10 years old when he arrived in South Australia on the Heerjeebhoy Rustomjee Patel on 29 October 1846. His occupation is listed as "Innkeeper" - I do not know if this is a later occupation. According to the Ships List (http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/australia/heerjeebhoyrustomjeepatel1846.shtml) he is registered as "Child" (that list has him at 12 years old so I am not sure if the details are entirely correct).
