Have you seen this ? Not sure of the provenance but Eliza's parents are recorded as Joseph Scales (a gardener of Mount Pleasant) and Mary Johnson:

This is great Shaun,
I wonder if these other Scales names are children of Joseph Samuel Scales,would be good to know of other family members, apart from our Eliza Scales who came to Australia.

This photo has been provided by a relation in the UK, he said the paperwork was extremely frail, difficult to read himself.   Got to remember it is 1840 documentation.
Can't do much better I'm afraid.

Our family migration document was for Timothy Donnelly and his wife Eliza Scales who came to Australia in 1840 from Hog Island, River Shannon, Ireland.

Timothy's parents were Simon Donnelly and we believe Winifred Dempsey.

Unable to read the parents on this document.

Looking for help pleae, we have no information on Eliza Scales family

Thanks for the rest of that, still got me bewildered, is that our Raymond Crome?
I cannot find a death for him in Australia from 1968 onwards.
