Hi Driver- If you Google "Bride Ships" that will bring up items & publications on the Irish Needle Women who came to our shores. They were mostly Irish orphans who were raised by the Nuns in Convents and taught the art of Lace Making and needle Work. Rica Erickson ( a noted Western Australian Historian) who died last year aged 109 wrote a book called the Bride Ships"on these girls who came to WA. I can do look up (free of charge) on these girls and who they married. Another good site is "LISWA" which is the State Library of WA. They have a Catologue on line and can assist you on where to look for them- Jan JAMES (WA Historian)

Australia Resources & Offers / Offer: WESTERN AUSTRALIA RESOURCES - Aboriginal Genealogies
« on: Sunday 09 May 10 04:04 BST (UK)  »
There is another Collection done by myself, but no longer owned by me. It is called "The Jan GOODACRE Collection". It is a collection of Western Australian Aboriginal Genealogies and contains 85,000  Aboriginal names. It is held by The Dept for Child Protection in Western Australia and the same rules apply as to most sensitive records. People can obtain their own family in a direct line if approved. People can also contact me for direction via my web page. I am unable to provide information from the collection. Great work- Jan JAMES (Avon Valley Collection)
