Hi Val As far as I know, I don't think there were departures lists from Australia, lots for those arriving tho'. Did the UK require inbound passenger lists ? You could try theshipslist website - they have lots of passenger lists. There is also Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild, but I think that's only outbound pass. from England. Some newspapers occaisionally mentioned departing passengers. Which state of Australia do you think they went from ? If son was born before departure, he should be registered in relevant state. NSW and Vic indexes are free to search on-line. All others are on CD Rom and Microfiche - Cherilyn will do lookups in Vic and WA on this board. Were they married in Oz, or born here ? If he was born during the voyage, the ship's captain had to report births (and deaths) on return to England. Separate listing to GRO, some might know exactly - have only vague recollection. What about locating them in a census after they arrived - whoops thats not free, but I could look for you Diane Sydney Australia |
