I don't know if you've got him on the immigration lists arriving on the Northern Monarch from Plymouth on 12 June 1876 at Adelaide. Listed on the South Australia Assisted Passage Lists, age 24.

See this newspaper article about the ships arrival where he is named:  https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/31969855

Both have him as Anton Travers.

I remain of the view that he later embellished aspects of his back story!

Thanks for that link, I had found the arrival but not the article. I too am rather inclined to think that he may not have been all that he claimed to be. After all, we haven't seen the letter, only that he said he had received a letter.

Hi all,
Thanks for the help so far, a family member also gave me this newspaper article, it has always been said that he was a Swiss Count who perhaps got into some trouble at home and was sent to Australia.

Due to my lack of any language other than English I am struggling with finding anything about him in Europe. According to his marriage certificate his Father was Rudolphus de Travers and his Mother Christina 'Sohaber'?

If anyone can find a connection I would be grateful.

Hi,

I'm trying to find the birthplace of this gentleman as listed on his naturalization papers, the town/district doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Hi
Seeking birth details for Nicholas James Marks, 1918 Coburg Victoria, he married Sheila Veronica Smith in 1947.
This is my Grandson's line and he has just gotten interested.

Oops, thanks, it mentioned a sketch of the block of land, I was hoping for that.
