Find Ancestors

Hi. I am looking for any information on David Murray Streader who I believe was born in Lincolnshire in 1828 and emigrated to Australia - Bendigo Victoria, where he died in 1883 in a mining accident. He was married to Mary Martin but I don't know where, may be in 1855. I can not find any passenger lists with his name

Several articles on the incident (also appears that their son also died in a mining accident):

http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/search?adv=y

Online outgoing passenger lists don't start until 1890

Where have you been looking?

No idea if correct, but two trees on Ancestry have this for their marriage:

Australia, Marriage Index, 1788-1950
Name: Mary Ann Sarah Martin
Spouse Name: David Murray
Marriage Place: Victoria
Registration Place: Victoria
Registration Year: 1854
Registration Number: 3165

According to one of the articles, he was a native of Birmingham, and had been in Oz for thirty years

Left a wife and four children

Wife is recorded as Mary Ann in the son's marriage report

Thank you for your information. I have read the article on his death through the trove site.
How can I find how David travelled to Australia and when?

I have searched the ancestry.com site passenger lists and family search site but not sure where else to look.

I believe that David Murray Streader was born in Skirbeck, Boston area UK. Would that information be recorded in the Church records?
regards Megan

Someone has the marriage details posted on Ancestry- this also gives his place of birth as Birmingham:

thanks Gritty, I am getting a better picture of his background now. I suppose he came as an adult during the gold rush in Bendigo.

Birmingham was his birthplace

As already stated, online records for emigration from the UK do not start until 1890

You'll have to look for incoming records at the Australian end

Must be connected.............I don't have access to the full record
