    3. Hi All, I am trying to trace a new family member. I have Austin POWER who was born in Plymouth, England about 1817. He is in the BT98s for 1836 to 1845, in Plymouth. At this time he seemed to come aboard the ship my Thomas POWER had just left and took over from him as the Mate. This happened a number of times. Then in 1844 I found that Thomas had become the Master Mariner of Richard & Ann of Plymouth...and his Mate was Austin. This suggested to me he must be either a brother or some cousin. On the DEVON-L list I was told there were two marriages of Austin POWERs. One was in Plymouth in 1844 and another in Marylebone, London in 1873. I ordered the Plymouth one and found I had a new ancestor. Austin was written down as a Mariner and his father was Mathew POWER, a Mariner. I have Mathew in the earlier Plymouth BT98s and he was born in Waterford, Ireland in about 1787. Doesn't look like I will get back any further with him though. And I have lost him when he is the Master Mariner on the! ship Providence of Plymouth in 1831. That's why I was looking at the 1836-45 years....not a sign of him. OK...I digress.... I was given the 1851 Census in Marylebone, London where Austin and his wife have moved from Plymouth. Austin is the Publican at the Crown Tavern, his wife Harriet BARDENS and his 1 year old son, Alfred. I was given another Austin in London too. He is staying with his Aunty, Elizabeth MANNING, and is 3 years old. I went to the local LDS and found their births in St Catherine's BDM. I now have: Austin William Bardens POWER in the December Quarter in Plymouth v 9, p 370. Alfred Mathew Edwin Manning POWER in the December Quarter in London v 2, p 2.... No one had been able to find the families in the 1861 Census...or 1871, 1881 Census so I am wondering if they may have moved overseas. Could SKS tell me the sites that might have the passenger Lists for Australia, Canada, USA please? Or if there is a way of putting in Austin's name and finding which country/ship he sailed on. Thank you for any help you can give me. Hooray, Warren in Ballarat, Australia (ex Kiwi). Cattle die, Kinsmen die, But fame is ever lasting.
