Passenger list COMPLETED

[uk2003]

Hi

Has anybody got access to ships passenger lists for emigrants to Aus from the UK?

Run into a brick wall on the Harris name but now I suspect these moved to Aus in 1925 or just after.

Joshua Gould & May Gould (nee Harris).

A quick look at the Ryerson death notice index shows them both mentioned in the death notices of NSW papers.  they appear by their address living at the same place.
May be your people.
More info can be got by contacting the search facility on the site.

Hi

Many thanks to you all for the help.

This information only came to light a couple of days ago, so it is not cast in cement yet.

The story so far:

In 1922 my Grandfather Frederick Harris married Selina Jones and this was witnessed by a Violet Jones and a Joshua Gould.

Fred had a sister called May and after a quick look at the BMD index I came across a marriage of a May Harris & Joshua Gould all living in the same area - so logic says 2 & 2 is four, but I know it dont always work out that way in ancestry research.

It was rumour in the family that a Harris went to Aus and May is the only one I could not find after the 1901 census.

Her parents were Samuel/Sampson & May Harris and his parents were Joshua & Elizabeth "this dose not match what Sue found"  - both May & Joshua were born abt 1900.

Now for the spanner in the works item. Info hot off the press 

About 2 hours ago I was given a scan of a letter from a Ada Mcgrath? in Australia. Now it is like waiting ages for a bus to turn up, but in this case I now have two different families in Aus.

Selina Jones who married Frederick had a Sister called Ada born abt 1895. This letter was sent to Lina asking how the family is blahblahblah, but it gives no clues as to dates.

I have started to check the BMD's for a marriage to Tom Mcgrath - so far no luck - from the scan it looks like mcgrath 

Thanks again for your time and effort
