Hi Robyn, Lang brought out three shiploads of immigrants to Victoria and three shiploads to Queensland, plus there were 26 dispatched on the Duke of Portland which sailed to Sydney in 1850 - that's the closest I could find to anything mentioning "Portland" !!! His emigration scheme was only first mooted in 1845. In 1837, "he (Lang) was able to pursuade the British Government to despatch some 4,000 Scots in 18 ships to New South Wales." - this was part of the Highland and Island Emigration Scheme, not Lang's emigration scheme. I presume this was when your family came out? Sorry - can't help any more on those voyages. The ships Lang was responsible for ......... Larpent, Travancore and Clifton to Vic Fortitude, Chaseley and Lima to Queensland He also landed "22 young men" in Sydney - they were to train for the ministry - they were on the Duke of Portland in 1850.

Hi! I seek information on Mervyn Mann, the first manager of the Union Bank in Geelong in 1842-1845. He was also in Geelong in 1852-1855. Mervyn had been the accountant in Launceston since the bank's foundation in 1838, and had earlier been an employee of the Van Diemen's Land Co. from 1832 or earlier. He is said to have married Ellen Jenkisson from Limerick and is known to have had at least three children, Mary Emily Florence (m. 1 John Binny, m. 2 John Ferguson), Annetta (m. William Dines of Geelong in 1846), and a son Mervyn who died early and is buried in Geelong. Both daughters moved to Brisbane and further details are available. I have only found references to Mervyn Snr in the Clyde Co. Papers, and a book on "The Hentys". Family anecdote suggests he died during a return voyage to England abt 1855. Any connections or suggestions for further sources would be welcomed. Janice

Thanks Suzie The book sounds just what I am looking for and I will look forward to its publication. The name I am looking for is Holmes - Edward Carter Holmes and Sarah Holmes and daughter Frances. Albert Madge Holmes and Robert Teek were also passengers I believe.

During the course of my research into the name HUMPHREYS I read the will of James HUMPHRIES, Cab Proprietor of Geelong dated 11.2.1899. He died 17.2.1899 leaving parts of his estate to his sisters Ellen and Ann HUMPRHIES and his daughter Ida Swanston HUMPHRIES. Witnesses were John W. EUSTACE, Solicitor & John Simeon LONGVILLE PRICE Clerk both of Yarra Street, Geelong. His house was located in Normanby Street, known as IRWIN'S Property. He had a farm in MOOLAP. If anyone has a connection to this man or interest in the will I typed a copy and would be happy to send. I have no connection to this man. Pam/Suzie are either of you interested in a copy for your archives?

Hi All, I am researching the family of Hugh Haines and Mary Elizabeth Skelton. They arrive in Geelong in 1844 on the Sir George Seymour from England. I am also interested in any descendants of their line. Edmund Skelton Haines ( their son) married Louisa Bennett in about 1865 at Geelong. Louisa was the daughter of John Bennett and Louisa Drake. They are buried next to Edmund in the Eastern Geelong Cemetery. Any leads would be welcomed. Regards, Rochelle

Hi all, i've just found an old newspaper article on my Great grandfather Mark Evans. He was a lifetime member of the Geelong Trotting Club and was the first person (i think in the area of Geelong) to buy a car. I was wondering if anyone knows where I could find any information on the Geelong Trotting Club.

Any record of William Craig, b 1831 Scotland, James b 1833, Helen Falla (named afetr her mother) Craig b 1835, and the last one born before all the Aussies, WAS John Dunmore CRAIG, b 1837 - At Sea to Australia -what an entry. no birth place. William and Elizabeth Falla had other children here, William Akin b 1839, Robert John Lee 1841. William was a millwright/joiner. b Prestonpans. East Lothian. Came here in the Portland in 1837 to Sydney. I have not been able to find the Portland. No record of this journey, but it must have been one of Langs ships. I knew he had the Fortitude. I have tried many google sites to no avail. If you can find this family, well and good.

Hello Mary, Ian Wynd has written a book on J D Lang's Immigration Scheme - 3 ships to Vic, 3 to Qld, and some passengers on a ship to NSW. Ian had pretty much finished his book before he died last year. It is in final stages of indexing for publishing this year. It includes what I believe is the most comprehensive list of passengers for the ships in Lang's Scheme. Sorry - I haven't found any information yet on the Larpent descendants group but hopefully someone here can help. Until the index is complete I can't confirm exactly what's in the book - but you neglected to mention any name so that didn't help much! Regards .........
