Hi Marg, Thankyou, I think. Don't tell me I have an Onslow in the family! You know of Mrs Bucket fame. Do you have record of what it ways in that census? (P.S. I'm always telling my sons not to say dunno!) But you are allowed though I suppose seeing you know so much about family history.Have to let you off. I suppose I should just google "Guildford" and might get something, a picture. Susan.

Hi all, Asking please if you know details for Benjamin Hanlsow who arrived aboard "Guildford" 1824 that you contact me to swap notes and photos. Would you have the indent list for "Guildford"? Anyone have a description of the vessel or tell me where I can find it, a picture maybe? Kind regards, Susan Central Coast NSW.

Hi Carolyn I too have Italian ancestors! and they are a nightmare to find as they often anglisize their names! You can try Emigrants from Hamburg CD by Qld Family history group this should be in the library. During 19th century no ships left from Italy people had to travel to Germany. Also try National Archives Australia website as they were probably naturalised and most of these are online. If so this will give you the shipping details as well.

I am trying to help a friend locate her Italian ancestors. Surnames are ALTOMARE and AZZOLINI(sic). Christian names are Mauro and Vincenza, with dates of birth 1873 - 1892 and dates of death 1950 - 1973. Apologies for such scant information. I have found one death in NSW of an Antonio ALTOMARE, 1972, Burwood with parents Mauro and Anna. Is there SKS who could suggest more bdm sites in Australia I could try. The IGI doesn't appear to have any lists for Italy??? Best wishes, Carolyn in Bathurst. -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users. It has removed 195 spam emails to date.

Thanks Lynne, You've given me the shipping line. It looks like it only made one voyage - I wonder what happened to it. I'll follow up the Shaw Saville lead and try to find an image of the ship. It was from the Auckland paper, Southern Cross 21.10.1870, that I found: Name: HUMPHRIES, William Vessel: ESTRELLA. Oct 20 1870 Captain's name: Crowder Date of departure: June 27, 1870 Port of Departure: Liverpool Date of arrival: October 20, 1870 Port of arrival: Auckland Vessel type: Barque Tonnage: 499 The tonnage doesn't match The Times advertisement, but it must be the same ship.

I certainly don't wish downgrade the bravery that Mr. Corbett displayed to earn his DCM but you will find that the Military Cross (MC) and the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) both rank above the DCM but below the VC. The British Gazette should have details of the action that led to his award.

I'm looking for an image and any information on the barque ESTRELLA. It's possible that my great grandfather, William HUMPHREYS / HUMPHRIES, arrived 1870 in Auckland from Liverpool on the Estrella. Did it call in at Sydney? Thanks for any help, Maureen in Sydney

Hi List, I am trying to find details on the ship Beltana which arrived into Sydney in October 1928. Where would I look to find date of departure from UK and which direction it travelled. Also passenger lists. Thank you Marie
