1886 - WILMSHURST Family onboard the "Aigburth"

[fridayjan]

Hi,  I wonder if anyone can help me.

On Ancestry I have found some of my Wilmshurst family arriving in New South Wales onboard the Aigburth on 12.5.1886 (listed as WILMHURST).  All the family (Fred, Mary A, Edgar, Thomas, Edith, Jessie and Maud) seem to be there, plus 3 extras that I'm unsure about (Fred, Fred H and Grace). 

I've tried in vain to find more details about the passenger list - can anyone point me in the right direction to find ages, occupations etc?

Thanks,

Janet

Hello Janet,

Have you looked at 1881 census- the family are there. As you have Ancestry, I haven't listed them but you can find them in 1881 anyway for free and then using Anc. will be able to trace them back hopefully.

If you need assistance, please post.

Hi Heywood,

Thanks for that, but sorry, I meant ages and occupations as listed on the passenger list - to see if I can link in the extra Freds and Grace.  I have found the family in the earlier census records.

I was feeling rather pleased with myself because when I first started my family tree about 2 years ago, I "lost" this branch of the family after 1881, but last week I found them on the unassisted passenger lists when having another look at my early attempts!!

I've found various BMD's for them in the New South Wales Registry, but another thing I'd be grateful for help with , is to try and locate any burial records for Wilmshurst/Wilmhurst in the Petersham, St Peters, Leichhardt areas.

Oh I see 

There are 2 Graces but both there in 1891 too and as the name is a Kent name, there are a few Fredericks 

Had wondered if the Freds were repetitions but doesn't account for Grace 

good luck

I have looked at the image of the shipping record and there are no more details.

Cando's comprehensive post  made me think of looking at Free BMDs and there is a birth for Grace, December quarter 1881 - perhaps that is this Grace.
