Link: Passenger Lists - Eastern Mainland Australia

[Coriolana]

Hi,

I only just discovered Bryant's message to me about this list.  I don't know how I missed it.  I'm doing full time study which involves a lot of assignments, so my family history research has suffered.  I will go through all the messages posted and get back to you.  Thank you for all your help. 

I have done the State Records Office at Kingswood, LDS and the BDM and lots more.  I am aware of Family History Groups but there is none that covers the CBD/Balmain/Rozelle/Ultimo areas of Sydney.  That's what I meant by that comment to Bryant which he posted here about there not being a FHG for Sydney.  I meant the CBD and inner suburbs where my ancestors lived/died.

thanks once again

Carol

Hi

I've only just joined and so am a little unsure of myself.

I've been looking for my grandfather's immigration from England very unsuccessfully and hope that someone may be able to help.   

His name was Ernest Lovell (James Ernest on birth cert but that was the last time the James appeared) b.1867 Nettlebridge, Somerset, England.
Last found in Somerset June 1886 when he was witness at his brother's wedding.
First found in Australia March 1889 when he married in Melbourne.
Unlikely to be unassisted immigrant as he was a labourer and son of coalminer.
Death cert in 1946 said 60yrs in Victoria.
Marriage cert said usual address West Melbourne (but his bride was 6mths pregnant and her usual address was Bundaberg, Qld!).

I've tried every online site I can find but they mostly cut out at 1884 (too early).  I've searched fiches (admittedly before the search was narrowed) until my eyes rolled.

Any suggestions very gratefully received.
Thanks,
Lyn

Hi Lyn

I have had no more success than you - but I would suggest that you start a new thread with your query. This thread was mainly meant for information only & folks will be more likely to see a new thread.

Hi Anne,

thanks for the info.  If I wanted to follow these up where would I look?

THANK YOU!!! 

Without the link to the Unassisted Passenger Lists for Victoria, I would never have found my Grandfather and his family.  I thought they went directly to NSW but I thought I would give it a try and there were 3 of them on the Medic in 1913, one of them was missing (the father) but he must have gone out earlier to arrange settlement.

Thanks again.

Can someone help with a good site for South Australian passenger lists.  I have Fraser family arriving in Port Adelaide on the Joseph Rowan in 1854, would be nice to know where they sailed from, and anything more I might glean along the way.
thanks
