	The staff of Genes Renuited very rarely post on these boards. Any advice usually comes from other members. ;-) There appears to be records of 63 people called Mary Parker having traveled to Australia at various times. Here are a few examples: MARY PARKER Passenger Lists leaving UK 1890-1960 Collections from Australasia, Great Britain, Ireland, United States Country AUSTRALIA State New South Wales Ship Name CUZCO Birth Year 1885 Age 5 Ship Departure Port LONDON Destination Port SYDNEY Departure Year 1890 Image Transcription MARY PARKER Passenger Lists leaving UK 1890-1960 Collections from Australasia, Great Britain, Ireland, United States Country AUSTRALIA State New South Wales Ship Name CUZCO Birth Year 1843 Age 48 Ship Departure Port LONDON Destination Port SYDNEY Departure Year 1891 Image Transcription MARY PARKER Passenger Lists leaving UK 1890-1960 Collections from Australasia, Great Britain, Ireland, United States Country AUSTRALIA Title MRS State New South Wales Ship Name OPHIR Birth Year 1867 Age 32 Ship Departure Port LONDON Destination Port SYDNEY Departure Year 1899 Image Transcription MARY PARKER Passenger Lists leaving UK 1890-1960 Collections from Australasia, Great Britain, Ireland, United States Country AUSTRALIA Title MISS State Victoria Ship Name RUNIC Ship Departure Port LIVERPOOL Destination Port MELBOURNE Departure Year 1903 Image Transcription MARY PARKER Passenger Lists leaving UK 1890-1960 Collections from Australasia, Great Britain, Ireland, United States Country AUSTRALIA State Western Australia Ship Name ORTONA Birth Year 1861 Age 45 Ship Departure Port LONDON Destination Port FREMANTLE Departure Year 1906 Image Transcription MARY PARKER Passenger Lists leaving UK 1890-1960 Collections from Australasia, Great Britain, Ireland, United States Country AUSTRALIA Title MRS State Queensland Ship Name ORVIETO Birth Year 1874 Age 38 Ship Departure Port LONDON Destination Port BRISBANE Departure Year 1912 Image Transcription MARY PARKER Passenger Lists leaving UK 1890-1960 Collections from Australasia, Great Britain, Ireland, United States Country AUSTRALIA Title MISS State New South Wales Ship Name ORAMA Ship Departure Port LONDON Destination Port SYDNEY Departure Year 1913 Image Transcription MARY E PARKER Passenger Lists leaving UK 1890-1960 Collections from Australasia, Great Britain, Ireland, United States Country AUSTRALIA State South Australia Ship Name COMMONWEALTH

Member Since: March 2010 Posts: 5 Send Message	I have an ancestor Sarah Elizabeth Parker born around 1870 in Daventry ,Northamptonshire. She emigrated between 1890 and 1911, as she does not appear in the 1891 Census. I have been told by a family member in Australia, that she went to Melbourne and worked there as a shoe/bootmaker. I can see that you have records of people going out to America and other places in that part of the world, but nothing for Australia. What advice would you be a able to give me? Regards Lisa
