Hi Trying again to see if anyone can assist with finding when James came to Australia. He was married in Australia in 1875 and born 1847 in the Chester area. Was a miner in Australia so possibly was in England Can't find him in any of the usual sources at all - guess he might just be one of those who came with the bunch. There is a convict of the same name but we are fairly sure that isn't him Any help greatly appreciated Meegan Darwin

Hi Meegan, There is a James Lever with family arriving in 1866, he is 11yrs, so may be a too young from http://proarchives.imagineering.com.au/default.htm LEVER ---- I MAR 1866 QUEEN OF AUSTRALIA B 255 001 LEVER ---- MRS A MAR 1866 QUEEN OF AUSTRALIA B 255 001 LEVER ALBION 18 MAR 1866 QUEEN OF AUSTRALIA B 255 001 LEVER EDWIN A MAR 1866 QUEEN OF AUSTRALIA B 255 001 LEVER EDWIN 19 MAR 1866 QUEEN OF AUSTRALIA B 255 001 LEVER ERNEST 3 MAR 1866 QUEEN OF AUSTRALIA B 255 001 LEVER FRANCIS 9 MAR 1866 QUEEN OF AUSTRALIA B 255 001 LEVER FREDK 6 MAR 1866 QUEEN OF AUSTRALIA B 255 001 LEVER ISABELLA 2 MAR 1866 QUEEN OF AUSTRALIA B 255 001 LEVER JAMES 11 MAR 1866 QUEEN OF AUSTRALIA B 255 001 LEVER JULIA 15 MAR 1866 QUEEN OF AUSTRALIA B 255 001 Lynne.
