We have been trying for years to obtain the Shipping list for the “Royal Dane” that our Ancestors William and Elizabeth LAWLOR emigrated to Australia on without any luck, but we recently found some Parliamentary Tabled Papers that had not been previously digitised and put online.
There are 33 pages of a report presented to Parliament on the 5th September 1865, including statements from each passenger mentioned, and referring to complaints etc. mainly against the Medical attendant onboard.

Below is a list of 16 names mentioned in the document, and as far as we know they were all steerage passengers and never listed anywhere before.
We hope that these names will confirm for some families that their relatives did come out on the Royal Dane.

Ellen POOLE
James CONNOULTY
Bridget TEVLIN (TEVLISS?)
Maurice REEDY
Charles PRIDE
John AHERN
John KILLINGLY
Alfred MORGAN
Joseph EDWARDS
Anna EDWARDS (Matron)
Caroline ABBY (Sister)
Frances CARTLEDGE
Isabella SHUTTLEWORTH
Charles SHUTTLEWORTH
Johnson SHUTTLEWORTH
Mrs. GREEN

The Captain was Lewis DAVIES and the Doctor was Dr. HODGKINSON (These names were previously known).
They have now released and digitised this document,
“The Immigration Board Report : Proceedings and evidence with reference to the vessel 'Royal Dane' (Tabled 05/09/1865)

Here is the website :

It has been passed down through our ATTRILL family that they originated from France and during the Huguenot times the family fled to England and settled on the Isle of Wight.
As their surname was so similar to the very well established Isle of Wight family of "ATTRILL", the A'TEUILL family adopted this surname as their own.

I have only been able to trace our Attrill family back as far as the latter part of the 1600's on the Isle of Wight as a separate line, but I've never then been able to link our line onto the main Attrill family tree before then and the main tree goes back to the early 1500's. This makes me think that this could be around the time that the A'teuill family did come from France to the Isle of Wight.

I am hoping that someone else is looking for information on our A'teuill family or maybe some suggestions as to where I can go for help.

Thank you for your time,  Christmack

I am trying to trace our Ryall family who originated from Croom, Limerick. The surname has also been spelt as Ryal, Rial, Real and Rail.
 
Our connection is through John Rial who married Honora Lawlor/Lawler in 1866 in Banouge, Limerick, Ireland. From other records I have found John and Honora had 3 children, all in Croom, Limerick. They were Ellen in 1867, Michael in 1870 and John in 1872. Honora appears to have died in 1873, maybe in childbirth ?
John Rial was born C1841 and his father was Michael. Honora Lawlor was born C1839. Her father was John Lawlor.
 
Looking forward to hearing from anyone who can help me with this family,
Thankyou, Christmack

We are hoping that someone could help us with information on the Bingle Immigrants from Ireland to Australia around the 1860's to 1870's.
We found the reference on Trove in a newspaper article referring to the Bingle Immigrants who came from Ireland to Rockhampton in Queensland, Australia in 1865.

We would like to learn more on why they came to Australia also if there is a website with an Index of names of people who were part of this scheme.
The scheme appears to be encouraging the Irish Immigrants out here for work in the area.
Thank you for your help,  Christmack

Could someone help me with a burial churchyard and possible headstone photo for George Newcombe HENNESSY (HENNESEY) who died in the March quarter of 1904 in Holborn on the outskirts of London and Middlesex. I think the exact death date was the 12th March 1904.

Thank you, Christmack
