I believe Joseph arrived in Australia without Rachel. She and Richard emigrated about 9 years later.
Can anyone help with their arrival dates.
Thanks Kaye

I assume you found Rachel (32) and Richard (9) arriving in 1890 on the Oroya. Why do you think Joseph came 9 years earlier? Was he on the 1881 Census in UK
Is Emily mentioned in another post their child? Where was she born?
I believe it was Joseph on the 1881 Census shown as a lodger at Berry Street, Skelmersdale, Lancashire.
Emily was born 1893 in NSW Australia. Her death record states:- mother Rachel Smith father Joseph Hope.
I have been unable to find a registered record of her birth.

Thanks for your help. I will apply for Rachel and Joseph Hopes death certificates and see if they hold the key to some more leads.
