Hi again, I have managed to tie up a lot of loose ends but still struggling to find John Cary Beaglehole in passenger lists. I found a transcript that cited him on the 'Charlotte Jane in 1852 but the list I viewed did not show him. Could he have been crew? Are there crew lists?
Also Constantine Dignan died in Stawell aged 91 years in 1892 (b-1801). There is a transcript for a Constantine Degnin for 1866 Liverpool to Melbourne on the 'Dallam Tower' but gives his age as 55 years. Is this him? if so he came out after his daughters. Have not been able to find Mary Dignan's immigration record either. Feeling pretty pleased with what I have got though!

Look again at the image for "Charlotte Jane"
He is there as a passenger
Transcript says Reaglehole, but it is clearly John BEAGLEHOLE.
Farm Labourer. For Melbourne. English.

14th from the bottom on the left passenger column.

Interestingly the complete name for one of his daughters was Charlotte Ann ;D

Death notice.
It is the correct man

If the immigrant on the "Dallam Tower" is the same man, it is not unusual to find years deducted from the age of older people on ship's lists.

Brilliant- thank you! I should have looked harder. Yes I noted the daughter was Charlotte Ann- John's elder sister back in the UK was also called Charlotte- which made me think I might have the right person. So the name of the boat and a sister makes it a perfect choice. Also another child died called Elizabeth and he also had a younger sister called Elizabeth. So it all fits.
