I have found a relation moved to Brisbane in Australia from London. He took the ship the Limerick in June 1913. Which sites do I look at to find more details of him in Australia? Any help would be great :-)

I always find that this sites many links can be very useful when trying to research people in Australia:

http://www.ballaratgenealogy.org.au

If he remained there he may also appear on the Australian Electoral registers which are available on Ancestry.

Researching:
Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.

Hi Lisa
The 'QLD State Library' (on-line) has an 'Ask Us' librarian service ...they will check their records including electoral rolls (past & present) and newspaper death notices.
