Manmack - thanks. Do you have a year? as this information is slightly confusing. Mother was Elizabeth and Cecilia was a sister born 1852 of Charles but he had a father in the marines (samuel snr died Chorlton about 1869)) and two brothers (William born 1835 and Samuel born 1843). Samuel Jr was also in the marines and on a ship/shore in Sth Africa around zulu war times. As far as I know Cecilia had two children to a man with named John Owen in 1873 and 1877 in Gorton.

I have no other record of another child called Charles Shooter Lord - it maybe a third to cecilia?

Thanks for your assistance regards possible QLD arrival. I am going to track down the actual document entry next time I am in Brisbane. The information/link that you had provided is the closest that I have come so far.
I still have to check if there are any arrival possibilities in VIC or SA.

Jorose thanks =Age and dates basically match his birth date and Queensland (I assume Brisbane area) to Bingara gold/diamond fields (Northern NSW) is not too far === I assume I will need to get to the QLD archives to get more information on this Charles Lord. Can you or anyone else shed any light on what sort of additional information would or maybe contained on the microfilm file?

Completed - To all the people who responded, Thanks for your assistance. I am still working at it but at this stage I have troubled you enough and you have more than answered my initial question.

Australia / Arrival Charles S LORD in Australia
« on: Monday 04 July 11 13:41 BST (UK)  »
Charles S (Shooter/Shouter) LORD Born 1850 Manchester England was shown in the 1871 Lancashire Census as a boilermaker,  but no further census records after 1871. He then married a Mary Hemmings in 1892 in Bingara NSW and his occupation is listed as Engine Fitter. I have checked to the best of my abilities the NSW and national archives passenger arrival lists but could not find him. His fathers name was Samuel (a Royal Marine - Greenwich pensioner and died pre 1861. Operated on ships that were in Capetown and barbados area). Mary Hemmings died in 1900 and in 1902 it is known that Charles S Lord remarried under the name Zulu Charles Shouter Lord. His older brother Samuel was also a marine with no record of him being in Australia with Charles.

Any assistance in finding Charles's departure from England to ??? OR his arrival in Australia between 1871 and 1892 from ??? would be appreciated.

Armed Forces / HMS VIGO

Does anyone have access to any crew lists for HMS VIGO while it was apparently based at the Cape (Sth Africa) around 1820-1827. I am trying to trace a Samuel Lord who was apparently a Royal Marine on this vessel at the time. Any information about Samuel's Royal Marine career in South Africa would be appreciated. Alternatively does anyone have more specific knowledge of the exploits of HMS VIGO at the Cape during this period?
