I am trying to find Herbert Phillips who went to Australia after 1924. Does anyone know where in London the info might be? Kew or the British Library? Also how difficult is it to find if you only have rough date and no other info. Sue

Hi Susan, Look at the National Archives of Australia site, passenger lists. I am sure you will find him. I found my relation on there who travelled 1927 from Southampton. Should also tell you the name of the ship. I will also do a search for you and see if I can find him. Elizabeth Update : Searched the site but could only find the´name H. Phillips - : Phillips F. Herbert - 1926 Melborne arrived 18 Jan 1926 ship Maloja Phillips H. arrived 6 May 1926 Sydney ship Balranald Phillips H. arrived 4 Apr 1929 Melborne ship Hobson Bay Hope this is some help

Hi I live in Melbourne. I was in the Immigration museum recently and was told only 10% has been transcribed onto the website. Apparently volunteers do it. I've never found the NAA easy to navigate. Cheers Gerry

How to find passenger records by National Archives of Australia: 1. Homepage click on family history. 2. Click on records search on left hand side of page 3. Search now as guest. 4. Top of the page click on Passenger Records 5. Type in name required. Tip sometimes only forenames are only given with first letter. Hope this helps in your search. Good luck Elizabeth
