La Rochelle: 900 tons, Captain John Meyer, from Hamburg 30th May 1855, arrived at Port Adelaide, South Australia 3rd September 1855 The South Australian Register, Tuesday September 4th 1855:— The ship La Rochelle, quite new, was built at Hamburg, and belongs to the same owners as the barque Iserbrook. She is a fine ship, and had a remarkably clean run. Much contrary weather experienced ; but so light have been the winds that only three times during the voyage the topsails been reefed. Only one vessel was spoken during the voyage, July 3rd, the Hamburg brig Grassbrook from Hamburg, bound to Moreton Bay, with passengers. Her date of departure was three previous to that of the La Rochelle....(from another article): "La Rochelle. arrived yesterday, with 487 passenger of all ages. Amongst the male adults are persons of various callings, but they are for the most part agriculturalist ; 107 of the number having been sent for by their relatives and friends in this colony, and all the passages of all accomplished without any charge upon the South Australian Land Fund. The names of the passengers will be found in another column. During the voyage of 92 days there were 11 deaths and four births. The Melbourne Argus, Wednesday September 12th 1855: The Germans are working hard to get their disabilities removed, that they chose a member of their people to represent them under the new Constitution ; and they will succeed, for the popular feeling is in their favor. (in another article): amongst them is an aged couple of the respective ages of 93 and 86, who have come to end their days in our fair free land. None of the German immigrants by this vessel cost anything to the South Australian Land Fund.
Found Anna Elizabeth's name on the roll of the ship, above - her maiden name was Muller, and she was the second wife of Johann Carl Freiderich Lehman, who had a child of 2 yrs with the same name as his from a previous marriage to Anna Rosina (Lange).
