Hi there,
Hope you're all having a good weekend! I am having a difficult time finding where my family were in the 3 years after they arrived in Aus.
What I have:
Patrick NORTON and Mary EGAN - 6 kids (Mary, Edward, Thomas, Ellen, Julia & Catherine) - arrived in Sydney 18 October 1840 aboard the Isabella. The next we know of them is the birh of their 7th child (John) in November 1843 in Goulburn. I have had some success tracing them from there (mostly due to tips from extremely helpful rootschat members for which I am very grateful).
My question is - does anyone have any suggesions as to how I might find out where they went when they disembarked and how they ended up in Goulburn?
Any/all suggestions/ideas will be gratefully received.
Cheers,
Julie

Hello,
You may have tolook in the records office at the ships manifest as it may well indicate where they were to go or to whom they were contracted to wowrk when they arrived.
My ancestors in Victoriawere supposed to work as a gardener for a "Henry Pensom at Glenorchy" after their arrival in 1856 but it seems to have been a short term arrangement as by 1813 they had started wwrking for the Clyde company.
regards
Robyn

Hi Robyn,
So sorry for not replying sooner - it's a heck of a week! Anyway, many thanks for your tip - I'll contact them and see what they may have. It's those 3 years I'm really, really curious about. On the Tipperary emigrant/immigrant list it says they were known to a John Blackman in Wilford Tipp but that's not here is it?
Will keep you posted.
Cheers,
Julie

Hi,
No Wilford is not here it was probably a character reference to the organisation or individual arranginging the passages for prospective workers.
Another group I traced arrived in Sydney in 1842 and because of his poor state of health on arrival he was unable to take up work. His sons found work and his daughters married and one at least moved to YASS near Goulburn!!! another to Rutherglen in Victoria and one went on to NZ.
A report on his daughthers death in Ruthergelen appeared in a Yass paper and a NZ paper.
Here is a website for the Yass Courier:

and don't overlook thus site

and another useful reference but not all links may work as it is no longer maintained
