'Miss Carey' is named in Adelaide newspaper passenger lists[1][2] as arriving in Adelaide per City of Adelaide in 1870.
'Miss Carey' was Clara Gordon Carey,[3] the second youngest child of Langer Carey (~1799-1866, physician) and his wife Margaret Anna (~1794-1869). She was born about April 1839 in Newport Co. Tipperary, Ireland.[4]
Her younger brother Dr Samuel Orby Carey (1841-1877) had returned to Adelaide per City of Adelaide in 1867 and Clara may have come to Adelaide to assist Samuel's family as his health declined.
Shortly after her arrival 'Dr and Mrs Carey and Miss Carey’ were invited to an after-dinner party held by the Governor’s wife and in November 1870 they were invited to an ‘At Home’ and a dancing party also held by the Governor’s wife.
Clara, Samuel and his family departed Adelaide for London in November 1872 per Darra.
Clara died at Bristol, Somerset on 27 September 1934 aged 95.
