Arabella Chute:

The passenger below may reflect the emigration of Arabella Chute, daughter of Francis Chute and Arabella Denny in Chute Hall, but she appears in the passenger list of the "Duke of Newcastle" without the presence of other Chutes - or Denny's either, for that matter. Women of her status would not have traveled alone in 1865, so the next question would be: who was she traveling with? If this is the same Arabella Chute, we can closely approximate her birthdate as ~1846, if she is listed as being the age of 19 in this record.
The "B" in the record represents the Port of Entry in Victoria. Without a key provided on the web site, it can only be guessed that that would be Brisbane.
The other possibility is that this record does not refer to this Arabella at all, but is in fact the Arabella Denny Chute who married a "Pierce Chute", as recorded in the Cork Examiner. As some Australians trace their descent from a "Pierce Chute" (as yet unidentified), this should be considered strongly.
