Dug a bit more and found some newspaper articles on Genealogy Bank. The ship 'Driver' sailed from Liverpool on February 12, 1856. It was a winter with many icebergs and a terrible blizzard along the entire East Coast. Many vessels were lost, including the 'Driver' with about 375 on board, young immigrants and the crew.

I would be interested in anything further on this disaster.
