Sue,
Just tried again using Wycombe plus the GRO you supplied and up it came.
Thanks,

Sue,

Thanks for that.
Was looking up 'Free BMD".
This helps solve some confusion; now would like to find name of ship and date from UK to Australia.

A careful read through this whole thread will show this information which the team has worked to find for you.

While it was suggested that they came on SS Daphne, not able to confirm that as Trove record only mentions 32 passengers in steerage, but no names.
Maybe in Sth Aust Library records ??

There is the following Aug 1887 Adelaide Hospital admission:

If this is your Annie, she would have arrived on the Daphne early 1886.

Did you rule this one out?

Many South Australian passengerl ists  are missing ...
There is one left for 1885: "Ashmore"
For 1886: "Amalfi"
And none for 1887 ....

So while you might have thought that my research was insufficient for your needs, it is as good as it gets!

Thank you.
Realised through checking that only records of those two ships survive.
At least we can confirm she came on SS Daphne from the hospital record and worked as a cook for W.K.Sims, who owned brewery and lived at "Clarence Shields on Victoria Place, Glenelg Adelaide.

Thanks to all for your assistance; a bit more of the puzzle filled in !!

FYI the following article confirms that Annie was in South Australia by Aug 1886:

Thanks for that bit of info.
All adds to the story.

It might be a total coincidence, but I’m wondering whether the following couple could have been the parents of Annie and Joseph.

John Freeman b abt 1823/4 Liverpool, still alive in March 1892 (might have died in Broken Hill???)
&
Jane Freeman b abt 1823/4 Liverpool, d 17 Jul 1888 Adelaide Hospital (Last residence: Thebarton)
Police report to the coroner: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJB-R3SB-X?i=9
(same info: https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/204455762?searchTerm=%22freeman%22 )

They  arrived on the Garonne (approx) late 1885, religion=CoE


FYI:
Their names were mentioned in the tree that I'd previously referred to: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/L2YK-W1Z
