Hello everyone, I am new to this list, and I hope that you can give me some help. I am searching for information on my ancestor, John Albert MITCHELL. He married Sarah Elizabeth SHAW on 2 Jun 1862, and together they had 15 children. But we can find out nothing about him before that date. There is no birth record for him in the NSW Registry of Births Deaths and Marriages. This leads me to think that he may have arrived as an immigrant from Britain. And as he married in 1862 he would probably have been born around 1840. So I suppose that migrant ships from 1840 to 1860 would be of interest, if I could find out how to get to them online. I'm an aged pensioner, so I have a limited income, and I can't afford an Ancestry sub. Can anyone please point me in the right direction to find out what ship he came on? I have just looked at a website where people will look up a passenger list for you, but you have to have the name of the ship first. And I don't have any idea. Is there perhaps a website where I can put in the surname of Mitchell and it will tell me the names of the ships that Mitchells came out on? Thank you very much, Sylvia
