HALL Family Fermanagh, Ireland to Melbourne
« on: Tuesday 28 July 09 22:15 BST (UK) »
Hi

I have recently learned from my uncle that my great grandfather Thomas Hall's family emigrated from Stranafeley, Aghavea, Co Fermanagh, Northern Ireland to Melbourne in 1867. His siblings names were Robert, Mary Jane and William.  Thomas stayed in Ireland and at least one, if not all of his siblings emigrated to Melbourne. Im a total newbie to Australian research and was wondering if anyone could help me track them down? Anyone fancy a challenge?

Many thanks everyone for your help and suggestions

Hi :)

Could we please have the parents' names.  It may help us identify the family in the death indexes.  A few dates of birth would go astray either :)

Cheers

There are no HALL's arriving 1867/8 on the Assisted Immigrants arriving Melbourne.

There are a few possibilities on the 1867/1868 on the Unassisted Immigrants arriving Melbourne.

I can't see any of the siblings together on one ship.

Do you happen to know the name of the ship on which they may have emigrated?

Thank you so much Cando. :)

Sorry- the dates of birth are:

Robert- 5-3-1837

Mary Jane- 25-2-1844

Elizabeth (i forgot about her!)- 29-5-1846

and William Andrew- 9-11-1848.

The parents names were Thomas Hall and Elizabeth ? (surname unknown)  So I think the Mary Jane you came up with could well be her!

Unfortunately, I dont know what ship they may have come on. And 1867/8 may not be 100% accurate, this was info passed on from my grandad to my uncle, many years ago.


Thanks for your help
