Once you know where they lived,you can find their addresses and occupation from the Australian Electoral Rolls,which cover from 1903-1954.

You don't say whether you are in Australia or not.I'm a member of Ancestry.com.au.I click on the search box,scroll down to Immigration and Travel,click on that.Then put in the name of the person with as much info.as you know.If you know that the person arrived in NSW,for example,click on NSW in the featured data collections on the right hand side.-Assisted or Unassisted.If you don't have Ancestry,then you can Google-Passenger lists from the UK to Australia,and see what comes up.
I hope that helps.

What infomation are you after? If they were born before 1901 they should be on the census

If its the Australian bits you are after you need world wide sub

If a padlock is showing you have not paid for access.

Robert,
If the person has a Worldwide Ancestry subscription, They would have been able to access some Australian passenger lists.

Hi Sylvia
Many thanks for your reply.

I think they actually might have got the information from the passenger lists on findmypast.


ancestry has passenger lists coming INTO the UK, not leaving.




anyway ...... just try putting the name of one of your grandparents into the search boxes on the Home page

My grandparents travelled to Australia on separate ships in the early 1920's from the UK. Some kind person has previously provided me with the information. I now have an Ancestry subscription so was wondering how I search through that website to get the same information?
