Hi Kerry, I think you found the ship my great grandfather come out to Australia on a few months back now, I was wondering if it told you the name of his parents?? Someone told me it should have his parents names on the shipping records My G Grandfathers name was Martin Corbett, came to Australia I think it was 1862 he was brn in Ireland 1836-38 in County Clare, I think the ship you told me he came out here on was the Empire Od peace.. Hopeing you can help with Martins parents name?? Rzo :-)

Kerri, Thanks for your lookup re Charles Barry. Victoria

Hi Roz SA Death records- Surname: CORBETT Given Names: Martin Date: 1865-07-15 Sex: M Age: 28y Status: N Relative: (not recorded) Relative 2: Residence: Adelaide Death Place: Adelaide District Code: Ade Symbol: H Book: 18 Page: 199 Cross Reference: (H=died in hospital).Old Adelaide Hospital records usually have patients ship arrival into SA,date & name of ship,sometimes actual birth place & DOB. Also try contacting the State Library of SA .They have a free service called Ask a Librarian.If you know the death date,they will lookup in old newspapers for any obituary.(1857 maybe too early for these newspapers but doesnt hurt to ask). I have not found parents names on any passenger list unless they have been submitted by another researching the family or they too (parents) have come to Australia. Hope this is of some help. Kerri

Hi again Kerry, I don't think this is my Martin Corbett, My Martin lived and married at Batlow and died in Sydney... Roz :-)

Hi Roz Sorry didnt check, ,just assumed that it was in SA. Kerri

Hi Kerry, Please can you have a look on the shipping lists for the following family? William and Isabella Little (from Ireland) and their children - William b.1820 Robert b. ? Richard b. c 1825 George b. c 1828 John b. c. 1830 Joseph b. c. 1832 Ann Jane b.c1835 Mary Jane b. c 1835 Margaret b. c. 1837 Eliza b. c. 1838 Sophia b. c. 1841 Sarah b. c. 1844 Another family I am looking for are - Thomas and Allarina Treloar and their daughter Jane Clara Treloar (b. c.1836 not sure where though). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks - Genevieve

Hi Genevieve Lots of Littles. Were the children of William & Isabella born in Ireland? What time frame did they come into Australia? Were they known to have lived in a certain State? Kerri

Hi Kerrie, The whole family were born in Ireland, the children were all born in New Bliss, Co Monaghan, Ireland. The did settle in Victoria but I am not sure if they landed there or in South Australia first. William who was born in 1820 was married in Melbourne in May 1853 so it would have been between about 1848 and 1853. I hope that this narrows the search down for you. Thanks again for looking it up for me. Genevieve

Kerri, I am interested on the ship and arrival date of James and Harriet Ennis. If I have the right marriage record they married in St Austell Cornwall early in 1879 and their first child was born in Ovingham, Adelaide,SA late in the same year. David

Hi Kerri, Trying to find arrival of Crotty family from England Suspect in range 1910-1913 Eugene Crotty, Wife Lucy two children Margaret and Lucy Hope you can assist Thanks, Max

Hi Kerri again My request for Crotty arrival was for South Australia Thanks, Max

Hi Kerri Thanks for your very kind offer. I am trying to find out if an Elizabeth Seaton who married Charles Tanner in Victoria in 1854 is my Great Grandmother's sister. She was born in Gawcott, Bucks in 1831 and I cannot find her on the 1851 census. Her mother died in 1847 so possibly she travelled to Oz after that. A lady from Oz contacted me to say that she was related to an Eliz Tanner nee Seaton who married Ch Tanner in 1854 and when I wrote back to ask how she knew this was the same Eliz she did not reply nor to several messages from me since then so now I am really curious to know if this is the same Elizabeth! Regards Ann

Hi Ann Sent PM Kerri

Hi Max Sorry I dont have passenger CDs that cover that time frame. Kerri

Hi Kerri Could you have a look for the surname DUNS in S.A. for BDMs and the passenger list? Thomas Duns and his wife Helen Catherine Jerdan were in Scotland for the 1901 census. In 1914 (WW1) they were living in Goodwood, South Australia. They had two sons who were I think George Duns & James Watson Jerdan Duns. James died in WW2 Regards April
