Hi Louise, Sorry this is a bit late, I've been away for the past few days and just saw your message. From the book "First Fleet Families of Australia" there is the following entry for James WALBOURNE: Born: London Arrived: 26/01/1788, "Scarbourough" - Convict Died: Married: 24/03/1788, St Phillips Sydney; Sophia Lewis (GS) Children: - 1. William, b. 08/08/1790, Sydney Cove 2. James, b. 04/10/1794, Norfolk Island Sophia LEWIS: Born: circa 1858, London Arrived: 26/01/1788, "Lady Penrhyn" - Convict Died: Married: 24/03/1788. St Phillips Sydney; James Walbourne Children: - see James Walbourne In the abbreviations it is stated that the (GS) after Sophia indicates Government Servant (convict) and is the abbreviation applying to the 1828 Census. I hope this is of some assistance.

We have been surprised at the Chinese names on our auriferous leases index. When we have indexed shipping records etc before they usually have 10 Chinese or 5 black men, 6 Indians, But on these they have gone to the trouble of putting their full names. What names are you actually looking for?

Dear Bev, Thankyou for that information on searching the National Archives. I will have a search and see what I can find. Regards Nicole NORTHERN NSW

Hi Nicole The National Archives site is a good place to start. Go to http://www.naa.gov.au/ Choose RecordSearch from the home page, then Search now-as a guest - type in the name of the person you are wishing to research, and possibly a date range. I have just done a hypothetical search for - Ah Chee for the years 1890 to 1920 - there were 193 matches. Have a look at some of the digitised records in the list to see what types of records are available. As for mailing lists - go to the following site - which is the home page for mailing lists. http://lists.rootsweb.com/ Good luck with your research. Regards Bev

Dear June, I will let you know if I get any responses about lists for families with Chinese backgrounds. My great grandfathers sister married a chinese man in Sydney in the early 1900's. We are trying to research some of that family. Many Thanks Nicole NORTHERN NSW

Nicole, would be interested in the site if there is one. thank you, june ----- Original Message ----- From: "nookmook" <nookmook@optusnet.com.au> To: <AUS-NSW-SURNAMES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, July 22, 2006 2:30 PM Subject: Chinese in Australia > Dear Listers, > > Do you know if there is a mailing list for people Researching Chinese names in Australia? > > Regards > Nicole > NORTHERN NSW > > > ============================== > Census images 1901, 1891, 1881 and 1871, plus so much more. > Ancestry.com's United Kingdom & Ireland Collection.
