Hello List People, Is there anyone on this list who has access to BDM's for Western Australia? Also are there any records of persons arriving from overseas? In the 1800's and Pre 1900. Shipping records I guess. I seem to have lost the website for arrivals into Australia. I'm looking for the arrival of the ISAACS family into Australia. Or perhaps only one member? And SOUTHAM's into Australia, who then married ISAACS' in Perth, and much later travelled to Melbourne, Victoria. BDM's of ISAACS' children in particular, Isaac ISAACS, who perhaps was son of Mildred ISAACS (nee SOUTHAM)and her husband. Isaac married my Granny's sister, Emily Annie SOUTHAM, sometime after 1920, Emily died at Elwood in 1941. These folks have long been a brick wall, until very recently, and now I'm seeking further knowledge. Many thanks to everyone who can assist. Bright Blessings, Leona in Toowoomba -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Hi Viv , There is a prominent family of Carsons in Gosnells. He was a bank manager of the Bankwest (R&I) in Gosnells and there is a street named after them in the Amaroo Cottage(Carson Ave). It seems they have been here for a long time but it might not be long enough. I know Gosnells has a website but not sure what it is.
