Hello Everyone,
Thankyou for reading this request,
I have been searching for ships but have not had any luck so far.
My great uncle came to Australia from Nova Scotia - twice !
I believe one first came to Australia in 1849 returned home and then came out here to live permanently in the 1850's bringing his older brother with him.
The information I have is :
George Alexander Pollock b about 1832 Nova Scotia - died Craigie Victoria 1891.
He came with a cousin to Australia in 1849 and returned in the 1850's with his brother Ezekeil Pollock born about 1830 Nova Scotia- died Talbot Victoria in 1909.
Any help would be appreciated as I have search the unassisted and assisted British lists but may have gone wrong somewhere.
Thanks Ro

Hi Leanne,
So many names the same - The wife listed below should be Jane MCKAY Pollock not Coghill.
I have re -arranged the list you found & added my own info in brackets - this looks pretty good except for Ezekiel !!!
You sent this :
"There is an Ezekial and a George POLLOCK + others arriving 1864 per "Lady Dufferin".
POLLOCK GEO.......36 .....SEP 1864 LADY DUFFERIN (Husband . my dates say he would be 36 = born 1832 )
POLLOCK JANE......27 .....SEP 1864 LADY DUFFERIN (Wife ..my dates say Jane Coghill Pollock would be 27 = born 1837 Victoria Australia)
POLLOCK ROBT ......6......SEP 1864 LADY DUFFERIN ( my dates say he would be 5 = born 1859 )
POLLOCK MAY A......4 .....SEP 1864 LADY DUFFERIN ( my dates say she would be almost 2 = born 1862)
POLLOCK EDWARD.... 1......SEP 1864 LADY DUFFERIN ( I have Edwin son born 1864 = aged 1)
POLLOCK MAY.......25 .....SEP 1864 LADY DUFFERIN ( this could be George's sister Martha = born Nova Scotia 1838 )
POLLOCK EZEKIAL...23......SEP 1864 LADY DUFFERIN ( This age doesn't tally - the older brother should be 38 = born 1830 but who knows )
Well done - thankyou, another family story hits the dust - lol lol !
Now all I have to do is find out when Georgecame to Australia the first time because he married Jane McKay in Victoria in 1857.

Hi Ro, just touching base. I was interested in your enquiry as Ezekial is my great grandfather and George is(was) his bother.
I will be happy to send you any info I have on our family as my dad Robert (91) and his sister Nancy(93) are both still with us and both have a good recollection on our past ancestors.
Regards, Lindsay
