Robyn asked: How do I find out about gr-grandfather (and gr-grandmother) coming to Australia from Scotland/England in 1864/1865? What is best source for ships' manifests - don't know if he landed in Vic. NSW or Qld. Have a look at http://www.access.prov.vic.gov.au/public/PROVguides/PROVguide023/PROVguide023.jsp Their shipping records are great. There are some similar records online for some other states - google Shipping records and the state name. SOME Qld shipping records are available online, but not all. You need to go to Qld Archives personally to check the card index. The website is: http://www.archives.qld.gov.au/ Good luck Margaret
