See under "Shipping Intelligence: Arrivals" at: http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/5973961?zoomLevel=1 The following Victorian death may also be of interest to you: Name: Harry Gatenby Eddy Death Place: Victoria Age: 11 Father's Name: Henry Mother's name: Mary Rogers Registration Year: 1865 Registration Place: Victoria Registration Number: 3507 The middle name Gatenby suggests that this child may have been born at sea.
