Greetings from Kingaroy. My ancestral relative Ann BROWNE was allegedly called "Planet" because she came to Queensland on the "Planet" in 1870. I had thought that her family came to Queensland on the "Young Australia" in 1870. Could SKS find what BROWNE families were on these two ships in 1870. Regards. Ron Johnson.

Hello Ron, QSA have downloadable PDF indexes for a number of things including assisted immigrants 1848-1884: http://www.archives.qld.gov.au/research/indexes.asp Some IMM records are missing from 1860's due to floods, and paying passengers are not covered. The card index in the public search room is still the best reference (based on passenger lists as well as immigration records), and there is also a separate index of ships' arrivals & departures, if you ever get a chance to visit QSA. In the PDF indexes, the only assisted BROWN(E)s listed for the Young Australia are: FamilyName Given Name Age Ship Date Location Page M/f no. BROWN Thomas 17 Young Australia 12 Aug 1862 IMM/112 160 M1696 BROWN George 25 Young Australia 1 Aug 1868 IMM/113 13 M1696 BROWN Henry Young Australia 13 Jul 1869 IMM/113 22 M1696 BROWN James 26 Young Australia 25 Aug 1870 IMM/114 24 M1697 BROWN Sarah 22 Young Australia 25 Aug 1870 IMM/114 27 M1697 Nothing for the Planet. Cheers Steve PS My 1st cousin 3 times removed that Eaton's Hill (suburb of Brisbane) is named for was legally named John Walter Irene EATON - he was born on board the Irene on the way over in 1857. Imagine your little school mates finding out your secret name was Irene! Goodnight!
