Arrival BLESSINGTON family

[yarnee]

Hi, I am trying to find arrival information on John & Mary Blessington who arrived in Australia approx 1874 from Bradford England and settled in Brisbane Qld.  I have looked in Assisted & Unassisted indexes but have been unable to find any record of them arriving in Australia. They would of had 3 children with them  daughters Mary, Elizabeth & Margaret.
Thanks
Jenny

Hi,
Now I don't know which of your 2 threads to reply on because they both say the same thing.

However, this is worth noting
It is a birth in QLD to I think, your couple

1874/B18084 Blessington, John. father  John. mother, Mary Welsh

I think these 2 items may refer to the child.

Sue,  Thanks for the reply.  Yes the John born in Qld is the son of Mary & John and the link does refer to him.  Thank you.
