You are very welcome Gen  :)
I believe that providing references to resources is just as important as the story itself. They provide proof and credibility. Without them, it's just a story.
Cheers Maggie

Can anyone help with a passenger list for the EMMA EUGENIA which landed in Fremantle Western Australia on 25th May 1858.

In particular a passenger named Ellen Byrne(s) or Burns(s)

Miss Ellen Burns, English. Departed Plymouth, Arrived Fremantle, Emma Eugenia 1858 4th May. 28 years Nurse Middlesex Acc115/42

There is also Miss Julia Burns 18 years Servant Middlesex Acc115/42 traveling on the same ship. A sister perhaps?

Australia / Re: Harold Rushton

Could it be that Harold was born in Pembroke in SOUTH WALES UK and not NSW?

Just a thought...

Added: Sorry, I've just seen that this has already been researched.

A death record for Henry's son perhaps? I know some countries record the name and occupation of the father.

Did Henry Walsh have any other children who married? Perhaps his occupation might be clearer on those records?

It's there on the snippet. I think it says Mary Adam's father was THOMAS, Occupation TURNER It's below Henry Walsh's name, whose occupation (I think) may be INTERPRETER, but unsure... I've added another snippet. Henry's son was a Tailor, so unless there's a word similar to Interpreter in the tailoring business, he didn't follow his father's profession.
