Hi Gay, re your Clarkes entry into Australia. Have you checked out from the following data base at: http://proarchives.imagineering.com.au/ Unassisted Immigration to Victoria Index of Inward Passenger Lists for British, Foreign and New Zealand Ports 1852-1923 CLARK PHILIP 22 MAR 1864 NAVAL RESERVE B 230 002 CLARK PHILIP MRS 20 MAR 1864 NAVAL RESERVE B 230 002 There are also other Clark(s) on this voyage including some children, and it would be worth pursuing this lead. If you knew the exact date of the first born child at Raglan near Beaufort in Victoria it would help confirm or otherwise whether this was them on the ship 'Naval Reserve'. regards, Peter Matthews Gay O'Neill wrote: > Thanks to Gayleene for her swift reply on the Clarke family. > Still looking for the entry to Australia of Philip Clarke and his wife > Mary Coyle.
