Hi Gail, Found the following bits and pieces for the family. Cheers Trish Nowra NSW NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF AUSTRALIA - Naturalization File (50 pages) for Franciszek KOSCIK (b.2 May 1923), Nadzieja (b.20 December 1920) and Zygmunt (b.11 March 1946). The family was living at 54 Frederick Street, Blacktown-NSW, at the time (12 October 1859). They arrived in Melbourne aboard M.V. "Nelly" (orn "Neli III") on 13 November 1849.. Nadzieja was born Kijov-Poland (also shown as Ukraine), occupation Housewife; embarked Naples and she arrived on M.V. "Nelly", arrived Melbourne. She is shown as housewife. Her parents were Trofin and Maria Tkatschenko (nee Olenik) who both died when she was 11 months old. Prior to arriving in Australia she is shown in Ukraine, Germany, Belgium and again Germany. In Australia she was at the Walgrove Hostel, then Douglas Road at Quakers Hill (NSW) and 54 Frederick Street at Blacktown (NSW). Husband's name is given as Frank. They married 13 June 1845 at Erfort-Germany. There are photos of the three of them on the file. Authority to remain in Australia granted 1 February 1952.

There's also an arrival for Jan KOSCIK aboard "Orcades" Naples-Australia on 7 January 1950 (shown b.23 January 1927), and Sigmund KOSCIK (Australian javelin thrower) but I don't know if there's a connection.
