Knight Family from Cornwall arriving Brisbane C1861-1863
« on: Wednesday 29 June 16 23:19 BST (UK) »
I am hoping to find a passenger list for Thomas Knight and his wife Lucy ( Higman) arriving Brisbane C1861-1863.
They had married 3 Oct 1861 Roche and are listed on the 1861 Census for St Dennis.
Whilst they moved around Australia , their first childre were born Queensland. They may have lived Ipswich.
The children were:John Daniel Knight b10 Jul1863 , Anna Jane Knight b6 Mar 1865 , Maria Knight b13 Feb 1867.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Lazarus, do you have all the family history and only want to find when they came to Australia?

I'm thinking that as they married in October they most likely wouldn't have arrived in Australia before January 1862.

Lucy could have been preggers during the voyage so, possibly looking for the voyage between January1862 and July 1863.
