Depends which route and when and a few other things whether you find which ship. I know a friends Canadian grandparents left Alberta in 1914 , trained across Canada ,by ship to London and then another ship to Sydney........... Maybe there werent many ships that sailed west from Canada across the Pacific ?? One data base we have which is still " under construction" is http://newspapers.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/home Our National Library is digitising many early newspapers to 1955 and all sorts of things are popping up ...........

John Sharp c. 14/9/1802 Grindon/Redmarshall Co. Durham Emmigrated to USA in 1849. Left New York, USA and arrived Victoria, Australia in August 1853 aboard the Canton. The Passenger list only shows that only part of the family (in red) travelled with John. I am not sure if the rest of the family followed later. Wife: Edith Palmerly married July 1829 Bishop Middleham, Co Durham, children George Sharpe baptised 1831 Bishop Middleham Elizabeth Sharpe b. abt 1833 Mary Sharpe b. 1835. Robert Sharpe b. abt 1838 Somerset (Keynsham) Ezra Sharpe b 1845 Wolborough, Devon Catharine Sharpe b. 1847 Cadoxton juxta Neath,Wales Frederick Sharpe b 1849/50 USA If anyone is able to shed any light on what became of John, Ezra, Catharine and Mary I would be interested to hear from you. There was a marriage of an Ezra Sharpe to a Elizabeth Caroline Gorringe in 1878 at Balranald, but I do not know if it is our family. Thanks Roy Roy Gargan

Hello {atrick I have been getting BDM from this sute going through the old papers maybe you could try for yours http://trove.nla.gov.au/ SMH 1854 to 1922 other newspapers have different time spreads Christene

Hello listers I have come to dead end again in searching for the marriage or possible death of Sarah SMITH b 1840 at Prospect to John & Ann Smith nee Kent who were both convicts who settled at "Woodlands" in Prospect. Sarah's siblings Mary Ann, Caroline & John all eventually married & settled in the Mudgee area but I cannot find Sarah although there is a Sarah Smith who married George Walker in 1856 at Windsor, had their first child at Bombala in 1856 but their next 4 children were registered at Mudgee. A Sarah Walker died in 1871 registered at Bombala with mother Ann, no father shown. Sarah's brother George Smith b 1833 at Woodlands, Prospect has also been a problem to find. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Joan -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. We are a community of 6 million users fighting spam.
