There were two large Government sponsored emigration schemes to South Africa. The first was in 1820, when some 4,000 people were sent to the Eastern Cape. A complete list of the 1820 settlers can be found at
www.
genealogyworld.net/nash/index.html
and there is also a website devoted to the 1820 settlers at
www.
1820settlers.com/
All the originals letters of application for the 1820 settler scheme (whether or not they were accepted as settlers) have been transcribed from the originals at Kew and are on line at
www.
genealogyworld.net/settlers/correspondence/index.html
The second major wave of Government aided immigration took place between 1857 and 1867. A complete listing is contained in "Aided Immigration from Britain to South Africa 1857-1867" by Esme Bull (Pretoria 1991).

Look Up Please
Could you look up in your book to see if John Brewer and/or James Brewer went to South Africa between 1857 and 1867 under this scheme. Thank you

Only a Richard Brewer (30), blacksmith, listed in the main section. In the appendix they list some names from earlier sailings where passenger lists were published in the Government Gazette. There was a "John Brewer and wife, labourer" (no other information) who sailed on the Dalhousie from Plymouth, arriving on 23 June 1850.

All it lists on p.660 is John Naylor, with a reference to the South African Commercial Advertiser 13:4:1842
As it happens I have been transcribing stuff from the South African Commercial Advertiser, but I am nowhere near 1842 yet. However, as you are UK based, you may like to know that the National Archives at Kew have original copies of the newspaper. 1842 comes under CO53/6
On p749 it says that John Naylor, Labourer, re-emigrated on the 'Maori', which departed for New Zealand on 26:10:1864 with 375 emigrants on board.Sue Mackay

Look Up Please
I am trying to find the emigration of
William HUGHES and wife Amelia/Pamelia (HARTWELL) and at least a daughter Mary Anne from Gloucestershire to the Cape Colony in the late 1850's possibly on a boat called the Glentana
Also possibly on the same boat according to legend is a Henry TAYLOR who may or may not be from Gloucestershire as well
I am aware that Henry TAYLOR re emigrates now with wife Mary Anne HUGHES (having married her in the Cape c 1860 ) to New Zealand in 1864
Any help appreciated

The ship was called the Glentammer and arrived at the Cape on the 13th February 1850. It is a little to early for the scope of the main book but is mentioned in Annexure 3, where any earlier passenger lists have been taken from the Government Gazette in the Cape Archives (issue 21st Feb 1850). The only inormation from the printed passenger list is:
William HUGHES, labourer, with wife and 5 children
Henry TAYLOR, labourer
I am aware that Henry TAYLOR re emigrates now with wife Mary Anne HUGHES (having married her in the Cape c 1860 ) to New Zealand in 1864
Henry TAYLOR listed with wife Mary Ann and children Elizabeth, James and William.
Re-emigrated on the 'Alfred' dep 27 September 1864 with 260 emigrants on board.Sue Mackay

Thank you for the information.
It ties in beautifully with all I have subsequent to and prior to the emigration.
The five children are a bit of a shock but this will enable me to finally find Mary Anne on the BDM's using some lateral thinking
Is there any more info re the scheme ie an article that I can read about it in. I am a keen historian and would like to know more as background.
Thanks again R Palmer
