Title: Thomas and Frederick CHARLES
Post by: sarunte43 on Wednesday 25 August 10 03:19 BST (UK)

Any suggestions how to find info about these two in Australia?
Born in Devon, England about 1825-27 and relocated to Worcester with parents, Thomas and Mary Charles about 1828. 
Passenger list for March 1857 shows Thomas age 32 and Fredk. age 30 leaving Plymouth, England for Australia.  Their occupation is shown as miner on the list.
Thank you
SR

Hi SR,

Fredk aged 30 and Thomas aged 32 arrived as unassisted passengers in Melbourne in June 1857 aboard the WAR SPIRIT

SR, do you happen to know Mary Charles' maiden name? It could help in identifying the deaths of Thomas and Frederick. I've found a death of a Thomas CHARLES with parents Thomas and Mary, but the age is a bit out. The mother's maiden name was JENKINS. I dan let you have more details if you think this could be the right Thomas CHARLES.

Victorian death.....
Thos CHARLES aged 70 died in 1908 at Katamatite.
Parents = Thos CHARLES and Mary JENKINS.
Ref = 6357.

The only death of a Frederick CHARLES I could find in Victoria was a 38 year old Frederick who died in 1872 in MELB. Parents were unknown. Ref = 2066.


Hope that's some help.

Hi
I chanced upon your entry regarding locating relatives on board the 'War Spirit' which arrived in  Melbourne in June 1857 from Liverpool
I am interested in obtaining a copy of an image of the 'War Spirit' and, indeed, any more information about it, eg where it was built, where it sailed, etc
If anyone can supply information, it would be much appreciated
Thanks
Stephen
