Hi
Thank you to all who have so far contributed to my initial question plus the extras, which I do have.
The comments and links to a Robert Dawson Linsday with an alias Michael Daly seems one to chase up. And upon looking at the record from the link provided it States he was from Dublin. So not really sure about this person being my man.
Its really just the immigration to Australia I am having difficulty discovering.
No certs elude to him being a sailor or master mariner. That's not saying he is not, however paper trail doesn't suggest this.
Where to from here please?
