Dear Listers, My 3xg grandparents Richard and Mary LUPTON married in Lahore in 1848, when he was in the East India Co Army. Their son William was born 31 May 1852, and Richard “discharged by purchase Sept 1852”. I have been trying to find when and how they arrived in Australia, which I assume was soon after Sept 1852. Where would I find passenger lists for ships leaving India for Australia? Can anyone help me, please? Lyn

Hello List Lyn, If your ancestors arrived in NSW, look at the website for NSW State Records , Indexes Online, under I for Immigration. http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/state-archives/indexes-online/indexes-online#i and you may find something. If your ancestors came to another State, perhaps the State Archives for that State will have something similar. About 7-8 years ago, I spent many hours looking at microfilms of ships passengers, held by NSW State Records, trying to find my grandparents arrival from India in 1913, but I was not successful.

Thank you Maureen. I’m sorry, I should have said where I’ve already looked. On NSW State records site there are 3 Lupton arrivals in Sydney from Melbourne in 1854 and 1855, but they’re all just Mr Lupton, no family. I’ve searched Ships List, NSW State records, PROV, Trove, but it’s always possible I missed something. I’m hoping the listers’ experience can point me in the right direction.

Hi Lyn, I searched for nearly 30 years for My "discharged by purchase" soldier also in 1852 who arrived into NSW with his family. I eventually found him on the "William Prowse" which arrived in Port Jackson 22 Feb 1853 after leaving 12 Dec 1852. When I say I found him on this ship unfortunately his name, his wife and infant daughter my gt grandmother, were not shown individually as they came in with 92 other steerage passengers from Madras India. The film is 1280. The reason I know it was this ship is because he got into trouble with the law and his gaol description record showed the ship as well as his arrival and also his description and where he was from. So I think it would be a good idea to follow up on this ship. Perhaps a search on TROVE newspaper may be helpful as it was for me, but hopefully not through a gaol record. Good luck.
