yes please - I have a Francis Kilpatrick who married in Sydney in 1856. Can't find a birth for him, he isn't on the convict lists, and he isn't on the assisted migrant lists. I got the marriage certificate but it has no extra information. Apparently he was from Ireland - I'm going to get his death certificate, but would love to know where he came from and how he got here.

I have looked in New Zealand records, and all around Australia. From the information I have, I am sure, he came unassisted, I cannot find him in the NSW assisted indexes, so I now think he came direct from Ireland. He was living in Waterford at the time. He is not irish born, he was born in Bristol, England. All I know is, he is listed in the NSW Deposit journals September 1854. My question is this. Does anyone know if there are unassisted irish shipping records in Sydney anyway, that I could look at one day?????? Jan Harvey Bundaberg Qld
