Hello Robyn, Following one of your earlier queries, I had a look at the shipping indexes, and found the following:- Empire of Peace, May 1860. Dorathy ARMSTRONG, Age 37 Eliza ARMSTRONG, Age 11 John ARMSTRONG, Age 8 Thos ARMSTRONG, Age 11. It would appear that John (father) came out earlier, which was relatively common. If you obtained Dorothy's death certificate, there is a possibility (depending on the knowledge of the informant), that all children would be listed. And in fact, if you obtained the birth certificate of children born in Victoria, you would stand a good chance of getting information on the parents' marriage. Judy Thomas.

Hi Judy :) I am just amazed, thank you!!! :D I had no idea where to start looking for their shipping arrangements. Actually, that's not entirely true, I DID start looking, but was so overwhelmed with how many pages were on one site alone, I gave up after about 10 of them!! Do you mind if I ask which site you found these on? I'm certainly making fantastic headway with this family, thanks to the wonderful help you've all given me!!! Thank you just doesn't seem enough, but thank you all!!! :D Take care, Rob.
