Hi Marion, I received most of the information from ship's passenger lists. I found the microfilm numbers on the NSW State Records Office web-site. www.records.nsw.au > State Archives > Indexes Online or Keyname Search. I then looked up the various films in my local library, or at the State Records Office. I haven't looked at the WA state records website. Hopefully they have a similar system. I hope I have been of some help.
