Could someone please assist me.
I am seeking the arrival of a John AUSTIN/AUSTEN and his family aboard the vessel HONDURAS in 1839.
Many thanks from this old timer in avance

Do you know his folk’s names or names of wife and children?

When was he born?

Thank you Jamjar,

All we know at the moment is that his father was Edward and that he came to Australia from Kent in 1839 aboard the vessel "Honduras" with his wife and 8 children.
