Hello robbowa and welcome to RootsChat.
Kimberley hasn't been online here since December 2017, however hopefully she still has the same email address and will receive notification of your post.
What was your gg grandmother's name and any other information you might have about her? We may be able to help.
Hi Maddy, thanks so much for replying
My 2x G Grandmother's name was Louisa Stamp/Stemp (seems to be interchangeable)
She sailed out of London on the barque Minero 08 Apr 1884 and arrived Fremantle 01 Jul 1884. She's listed on the ship's manifest as a 'passenger from Crown Agent', and it seems Felgate & Co. were the agents dealing with emigrants to Western Australia.
She passed away 17 Sep 1916 in Western Australia, but sadly her death cert doesn't list her parents names. She had 4 children, and two of their birth certs list Louisa's birth location as London, England (she was the Informant). There's a bunch of us descendants of hers here in Oz trying to verify her identity
There's a handful of candidate 'Louisa Stamps' in the 1871 and 1881 England censuses, born in London in the 1860's, but only one who didn't either pass away, marry or remain in the UK after 1884:
Louisa Stamp, born in London, Middlesex, 4 years old in 1871, Mother Sarah Stamp (37), Brother Thomas Stamp (6). Same Louisa is 14 years old in the 1881 census. Not present in the 1891 census. We think this might be our ancestor, but any documents from the Crown Agents confirming her identity would be wonderful to have.
Sorry about this 'War and Peace' reply, but as you can see we've been researching lovely Louisa for quite a while, and would love conformation,
Kind regards,
Rob Prahl.
