Hi all Hoping that someone may have access to passenger list around 1840,England to WA. Im looking for the HAYES family. They arrived in WA about 1840-1845.It is said ,by the family, that Mrs Hayes died on the voyage. The father then placed the two sisters into a convent to be raised. One of the girls was Mary Ellen HAYES (sometimes seen as Ellen Mary Hayes. ) As the story goes, Mary Ellen "escaped" from the convent & went to South Australia with Charles BATES about 1858ish. They went on to have 5 girls in SA.(Sometimes listed as Charles BETTS.) The family say that Charles was already married and that he left his family to go with Mary Ellen. While im here, Charles Bates/Betts born c 1820ish (maybe in Ireland) arrived in WA as a child /teenager with his father & younger sibling. Apparently,the ship floundered reaching the shore and his mother drowned- possibly another sibling also drowned. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kerri

Hello After years of research I am still having problems trying to trace my GG/Aunt. Her name was Annie Elizabeth Morgan EVANS who married Charles MARCH. Possibly MARSH as Charles is registered by this surname, all of his siblings are registered as MARCH. His Parents were Susanna (h) nee BREWER and Richard MARCH Annie was born in Tasmania to Thomas Morgan EVANS and Mary ann ATKINS in 1864. On the 8th of December 1885 she married Charles in Tasmania. In 1887 a son Sorell Charles MARCH was born Followed by Norman Hiddlestone C MARCH in 1891 Then Thomas David MARCH.in 1893 all children were born in Wellington Street North Hobart Tasmania. Thomas David Died aged 1 month In october of that year. At the end of 1893 no record of this family can be found in Tasmania. Charles MARCH was a Carpenter. When Annie's Father Thomas died in 1881 they were living in Wellington Street. Also Mary ann his wife gives her address as the same on Thomas David MARCH's Birth in 1893.. In 1895 Mary ann EVANS dies in February at the New Town Charitable Institution I am wondering if they may have emigrated to Western Australia I have checked in New South Wales, Victoria, south Australia and New Zealand and have came up with Zilch. I have even done a look up in the 1901 census for England. This family is the last of the EVANS family that I do not have any information on other than her birth, marriage and Children's birth's. And that Charles was registered as a carpenter in Post office directory for 1890-1891. Can a kind person please look up for any deaths for Charles and Annie. and or a Marriage for Sorell and Norman MARCH And Births for any other children for Charles and Annie MARCH. AS I have gone through every record the Tasmnaian Archives Office. and nothing as come to light. (Morgan Is a Family name not a surname) Thank you very very much. Kitty Tasmania

Hello List I am looking for the marriage and/or death of Alfred HORLEY. Alfred was last heard of in Redfern NSW in 1923 when he sent a greeting to his brother in the UK.

If anyone has access to marriage or death indexes in WA I would be grateful if you could do a search. I thought the indexes were online but have been unable to find the site. Thanking you Lorna.
