Hi Listers Can any of you wonderful people, tell me if, or where, more information might be held, if in fact there is, for a Passport granted as follows? HORN William J, Passport No 31109 DATE OF PASSPORT 17 OCTOBER 1855. This is hopefully my Great Grandfather, William John Horn(e) who came to Australia, but without further solid evidence, it must remain suspect for the time being. My Horne family were using both spellings, or at least the Clerks writing the documents were at the time. Hoping someone is able to help in this search. Anne
