Hello Fellow Researchers, This is my first message to your list, can anyone help me please? In the year 1917 my Aunt EVELYN JANE BIGG'S met and married an Australian Soldier by the name of WILLIAM MURPHY. When the War was over my Aunt immigrated to Australia, I am unsure as to whether Evelyn and William travelled on the same ship or whether they travelled separately, William with his Regiment (Private 57th Battalion Australian Expeditionary Force) and Evelyn as a War bride on another ship. I understand that they settled in Sydney Is there any channel through which I might find records of sailing's? Hope I might hear from someone, Best Wishes Yvonne Goold (Bristol UK)

Hi Listers, I would like to know if there is any way I can obtain a copy of, or just read, the diary written on the voyage out from England of the Sarah Dixon. It is listed as being in the Historic Records at Canberra [HRR 2223] but unfortunately I am in no way able to go there to view same. The author was G.R. Macadam. The voyage was May to September 1857. I do not know if there is a web site I can go to can anybody please help. regards, Morrie Martin. P.S. There is a reference to TC & TCW KING of Benalla attached to the records.

I was wondering if anyone has access to the passenger list for the Indian 1849.? I was hoping to have confirmation that my family of Bennett's and Aish were on board. Aaron Bennett, his wife Catherine and two children and whether any of Catherine's AISH family came with her. Regards, Brett Prentice Brisbane

Our family researcher (now deceased) has written: 'From State Government Archives quote "Richard Crossing Farmer aged 19 from South Brent - Father Thomas, Mother Elizabeth, arrived on (ship) Forth on 28.8.1841 (on the same ship was) James Crossing aged 31 Farm Servant from Plymouth - Father John, Mother Elizabeth" unquote. They came Government Assisted Passage, stopped in 1842 when the colony was commencing to suffer a depression.' Today I went to the NSW State Library and found the reel listing the passengers on the "Forth" for 28.8.41, set out as follows: Crossing John 19 Farm Labourer Protestant [read/write] Both Devonshire Crossing James 21 Farm Labourer Protestant Both Devonshire My first question is - where did the additional information (i.e. parents' names and village name) which is in the Archives come from? Are there other shipping documents beyond the reels in the State Library? Secondly, what was the Government Assisted Passage in 1841? Are these passengers indexed or listed somewhere? I'd be very grateful for and information. Many thanks Sybil Cameron ______________________________

Hello Listers I am bracing myself for a search for the ship on which the Griffith family (which included Richard and daughter Frances) sailed to NSW in about 1836. Can you tell me if I have to search every passenger list - ship by ship - or is there somewhere an index of passenger names that could provide a short cut? If I do have to go ship-by-ship, then I can reduce the task by concentrating on particular ports of departure. The Griffith family were born in Belfast (they seem to have been Wesleyans) - so if they were living in Belfast prior to their ship sailing, would they have left from Cork or Liverpool or somewhere else? I'd be very grateful for any assistance! Best wishes Sybil

Hi Listers, I had a virus on my computer, I hope this didn't cause any body any problems.It is now all cleaned up Jocelyn

Fellow Fossickers, Would you be able to help me find the ship or ships that carried the three Ash brothers to NSW and the Hunter region . They were born in Devon, the younger sons of John Ash and Rachael Tomlin. They were: (1) John Ash (b. 1826) and his wife Sarah (Arnell) sailed with one or two infant sons (who were born in London about 1858-60) ; their third child was born in NSW in 1862. (2) Frederic Ash (b. 1832). He was married in NSW in 1861 to Elspeth Kirkaldy. (3) William Ash (b. 1834). He married Ann Amelia Goddard in 1867 in NSW. So it's a fairly narrow time frame. I'd be very grateful for any information about these people. Best wishes Sybil

Hi all, Need some help please in finding some data on a sailing ship called the NURNBERG that arrived in Melbourne in August 1889 from Germany with a C RUMMLER as a passenger. Have tried many many sites to no avail, before the Germany to Australian run it apparently did the Germany to USA run. It really is a hard ship to get much info on it seems.!! Any assistance greatly appreciated. Regards Graeme on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland.

I was wondering if anyone knows if copies of shipping logs (for the Manlius 1828) are available. The Manlius was a transport ship in 1828 and brought over quite a few convicts to Tasmania. Any information would be helpful. Regards, Brett Prentice Brisbane
