Hello Roy Greetings from Sydney Australia I saw this email some time ago and put it aside to respond 'one day', well that day has come, so here goes I am interested in how you found the passenger list from the USA to Australia I have a Bridget Rochford who (with other family members)I believe migrated to the USA, from Ireland about 1850 I have been unable to locate the Rochfords arrival in the USA (Patrick and Mary and children) however Bridget comes to Australia (Melbourne) about 1859 and marries here. Despite considerable searching I have never been able to find the ship on which Bridget came to Australia, so my query is: how did you go about getting such precise information about the migration from the USA to Australia listed below I would be most grateful for any advice you can give Many Thanks Patrick Callaghan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gargan, Roy D." <roy.gargan@thermofisher.com> To: <AUS-NSW@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 30, 2009 2:25 AM Subject: [AUS-NSW] Sharp/e - Can anyone help track down this family? > John Sharp c. 14/9/1802 Grindon/Redmarshall > Co.
