Hyams family in Melbourne

[Bellou]

I am looking for any records about a Jewish family who moved from London to Australia about 1883. The father was called Samuel Hyams b 1850 and mother Amelia . They had 10 children including Abigail b 1880 and Miriam (who I believe was really Maria) b 1882 born in London. The 5 children after that I believe were born in Australia . Is anyone researching the family or any advice on records to look at?  Abigail and Miriam married two brothers called Freedman . How can I find the ship they travelled to Australia in?

Many thanks

Best place to start is with the reources section at the very top of the Australian Board.

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,399.0.html

In there you will find links to most of what you are after starting with the Victorian Resources.
I am sure you will find it informative and interesting.
If you get stuck just refer back to this post.
The Vic BDM should give you all the details including any marriages, it is a pay per view site however.
