I am looking for a birth and other information =
Alfred MILLS born about 1840 in Guernsey in Channel Isle's
Alfred parenst are John MILLS & mother Harriet? I have no more information on his parents but Alfred emmigrated to Australia in 1857 on the Ship "Burlington".
I haven't found if he came with his parents or was an assisted passenger yet.
He married in South Australia to Emma TUCKER.

Thanks for help here - will be looking at death records for Alfred's father and marriage records to try find out which side his aunt and uncle belong to.

Hi
Sophia Taylor was b Guernsey but husband John was b England. I suspect Sophia was either a Mills before marriage or was Harriet's sister
Unfortunately - there is nothing on the IGI
1871 shows John as John Bichard/Biched Taylor hotel keeper b 1818 England

Hi
I am now trying to trace how Alfred Mills arrived in Australia!
I have been told it was on the "Surprise" but I can't locate any passenger list for the Surprise but found its was his wife Emma Tucker who arrived in the "Burlington"
Any suggestions of how to find would be appreciated.

Hi, I had a few spare nimutes today and found this marriage which may or may not be the one you're looking for, in the Town Church, St. Peter Port, Guernsey microfilmed records.
The original is in French suggesting both were of local origin:
Jean Mills, fils d'Alexandre, et Henriette Le Tissier, fille de Daniel, tous les deux de cette paroisse, ont été mariés ensemble le 21 Juin 1835.
Translation below
Jean (french version of John) Mills, son of Alexandre (Alexander), and Henriette Le Tissier, daughter of Daniel, both of this parish (i.e. St Peter Port), were married on 21 June 1835.
I took a close look at this as it was the only obvious Mills marriage and I'm sure it says Henriette although it would be an easy mistake for Harriette. Names were often less firm than they are nowadays!
Hope this helps a little
Andy
