The above site, by Kathy Dearn is superb, it is one a number of websites on the Birmingham History Webring, access is available here

www.astonbrook-through-astonmanor.co.uk

The Aston site has a growing number of family histories, and links to geanealogy sites. Alton Douglas, a notable Birmingham author said of the site
Quote
As previously mentioned, I have always felt it strange when web sites are created to celebrate a large City (such as Birrmingham) and all they can manage is a few stereotype pages showing information that could be obtained anywhere.  Imagine my surprise when I saw this next site - not dedicated to the whole City, but to a particlular section "Aston Brook-through-Aston Manor."  What a site - a credit to all concerned.

Hi,

I hope I am not teaching grannies to suck eggs and old dogs to learn new tricks here.  Cool I had a very quick look to see if Warwickshire's Local History Societies were mentioned. I did not notice them in this thread. Many apologies if I have made a duplication.

Hi, Christopher,

This granny doesn't want to learn to do what you say, but would like to learn more about the people who left the Midlands, and especially Warwick, for Australia in the 1800's. I have some info on a great uncle and his wife who arrived in Queensland in 1874.  Who organised these free or assisted passages and where did they find out about it all?
Rosie

PS As I have lived away from the English language for the last 42 years I don't understand the meaning of the expression. Doesn't sound very nice, though

Hi Rosie,

I think the expression about sucking eggs came from the days when collectors of bird's eggs made a pin prick in the egg and sucked out the yolk and white leaving the inner of the egg clean.

This site refers to the assisted passages to Australia and should provide the information you require. The British Emigration Commissioners funded the voyages and the emigrees would have read about the opportunity to go to Australia in national and local newspapers. Assisted passages continued in the early 1900s and again after World War II
