UK incoming Passengers-Smith Family abt 1866-1870

[telephonist]

Can some help me find the family of Thomas and Ann Smith and daughter Annie and Lucy returning from Melbourne Australia around 1866-1871. They are in the 1871 and onwards census.
They went out to Australia possibly 1858 on the ship Queen of the Seas.

We would need the birthyears for each family member as the passenger lists are sorted alphabetically and then by birthyear

With a surname like Smith - there will be many with the same christian names

Thomas Pybus SMITH b  abt 1825
Ann Orange Smith (nee HAIGH) wife b March 1824
Annie E SMITH b 1852
Lusy Ash SMITH b 1857

I hope this might help to trace them coming back into UK, they are on the 1871 census

sadly Ancestry incoming starts 1878
and FindMyPast outgoing starts 1890, so you may need to find records from Australia
or maybe some of the Aussie' members can help?
