"Matoaka"
« on: Monday 15 December 08 11:00 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help me with info about Thomas Anderson, who was an immigrant to Australia on the "Matoaka" in 1857. Is there some way I can access his immigration record? I have found his name listed on the passenger list, but that is all I have found (other than his age - 22 years).  :) Thanks, Maxene

Which State in Australia did he emigrate to?  Makes it a tad easier to help you :)

Perhaps there was more than one trip seeing this one was in Jan.

Hi, Cando - He arrived in N.S.W. - Sydney. I am hoping his parents or place of origin are listed somewhere. Thanks, again. Maxene

Cando, I just went into the shipping list site and typed the ship's name. Also, I went into records.nsw.gov.au and typed in his name. I'm not very good at research - I just try things and hope something comes of it. Maxene

Oh Maxene you have no idea how many times I find a bit of info and then have endless trouble finding it the 2nd time...lots of s******g at times.  Will have another look to see if I can find your record...as you may be able to order/purchase  a copy of the entry online.

Here is the link to your record....you can order if you wish...costs $25.

Maxine,

He is also my relative on my father's side. I have details on him and his decendants if you would like them.
