Have you looked at the film of the arrival records? For families who came to Sydney I've always had a point of origin specified on the film record. I don't know whether this is always the case but it's worth a try. Also have you looked at: http://www.prov.vic.gov.au/default.asp You will need to register to search, assuming your Wiggins entered via Victoria. On the Assisted Immigration index, there are 118 Wiggins who came into Victoria, including one Jos Wiggins in 1857. There's only one Saml L Wiggins and that was in 1889. However, there are a number of Mr Wiggins and it might be worthwhile following up on those around the time frame you're looking for. Do you know whether he came to Victoria or would it have been elsewhere? There were 22 Mary Fleming who arrived as assisted immigrants and there were 21 unassisted Mary Flemings most of whom you would be able to exclude because of their date of arrival. If you have her death certificate it will give an indication of her age and it might indicate the number of years she was in the colony to help cut down the number of Mary Flemings you are looking at. Snip The only info I have is about a Samuel Wiggins, his son Joshua who emigrated to Aust in about 1859. Married a Mary Fleming, also from Ireland, after coming to Australia. He is my great grandfather. Regards, Joy
