Hello,

I have been told that some relatives emigrated to Australia about 1900. They left there son with the mothers sister and he was killed towards the end of the first world war.

I have had a look on Ancestry but can't find anything on there.

Does anybody know of any other websites that I can look at to find out about people who emigrated?

Many thanks for any help.

Rebekah

Findmypast has passenger lists but is a pay to view site.

Post some names and someone might be able to help

I have found this site today www.theshipslist.com/index.html
It has immigrants to Australia. Don't use the search box at the top of the site though, as that takes you to ancestry's site. Looks a bit awkward to search but you might find something.
