I am a newbie and am hoping that someone may have knowledge of my ancestors. Most of the information was taken from Shipping Logs of the ship "Wanata" which left Liverpool on the 5th of May 1864 and arrived in Sydney on the 3rd of September 1864. My ancestor John Dewhurst, aged 28, a Railway Labourer, who was born at Preston,and his wife Elizabeth, aged 23 or 25, a Silk Weaver, who was born at Rochedale,immigrated to Australia on the above ship with two children. The eldest child, Henry was born at Ashton under Lyne and the second child James was born at Manchester. John's parents were James and Elizabeth Dewhurst who in 1864 were living at Eddington Street, Bolton, Lancashire. Elizabeth's parents were John and Ruth Standering (Spandering). In 1864 Ruth was deceased and John was living at Rochedale. I hope all the above spelling is correct as in the past people sure liked using a lot of curls and swirls in their writing. I am hoping that someone might recognise something so as to save me a lot of time and effort and so that I might be able to join the Dewhurst Clan. Thanking anyone in advance who may have any helpful information. Brian Brian Fair Warilla NSW
