BALHARRY emigration to Chile in 1850

[Sirius]

Hi there

I've already posted in another forum trying to track this elusive ancestor down, but I figured I'd be as well covering all bases for those of you not interested in Angus family history, but adept at tracking emigrants!

I really don't know where to start to try to suss out records that might point to how and precisely when David Balharry emigrated to Chile. The information from Chile confirms time and time again that he arrived in 1850 with his sister.

What would the most likely route of travel have been, does anyone have thoughts on this?

Thanks for listening :D

http://www.britishempire.co.uk/maproom/pinkbitstrade.htm is a good map showing trade routes. It looks like you could hop a boat in London and zip right down to Chile and the Straits of Magellan (which Chile gained control of in 1843).

Thank you so much!! I've been asking around but nobody seemed to be able to shed light on the route likely travelled, so I am really very grateful!
