I am searching for an ancestor who came to Australia from England. > He was born in 1848, and the registration district was Mutford, Suffolk. I checked the 1851 census index for Mutford, and he wasn't there! So either the family moved elsewhere, or I am thinking they maybe moved to Australia when he was very young, he would have only been 3. > I have no idea what year he emigrated to Australia,(I know he lived in Victoria at some time) but if it was during the time span of 1848-1851, how do I go about finding which ships arrived during this time, and the passenger lists for them? > On the same theme, if anyone has a passenger list from this time, could I impose a check up to see if he may be listed, his name being James Emanuel Brock. > Thank you for any help, > Karen > > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 >
