Looking for any help of FULL NAMES of men FERRARI who came to Australia
2 Ferrari men arrived in Port Melbourne , Australia on the "Prince Consort" in 1860, neither with first names listed
I have been trying to trace my ancestors - Ferrari. My mother is Beryl Dawn Metcalfe (nee Ferrari), her father was William Baptista Ferrari and he was born in 1905 in Echuca Vic. Australia His father was Baptista(e) Ferrari (Ferari) who was married to Janet Little Murray in 1871. He died in 1918 aged 84 years in Nathalia Vic. According to Marriage certificate he was born in Switzerland.
I have been trying to find out on which ship he arrived to Australia. His father's name was also Baptista.
I was wondering if you have found out anything about the the Ferrari's arriving on the Prince Consort, as in the Unassisted Shipping Index to Vic 1852-1899 lists 2 Ferraris on this ship however they have not put in there christian names. The ages seem to be about what my relative might have been
