My uncle George McIntosh and family immigrated to Melbourne in 1965 from Darlington, County Durham, UK. I am trying to find any information about them to include them in my family tree.
Many thanks,
Alan (Capps)

Your Uncle George was born when? He died when? His father was? Sorry about the questions but there are a lot of George McIntosh's :)

Hi,
Firstly, I have got the date of immigration wrong in the subject heading - it should be 1959. Very sorry.(Heading corrected.)
George J was born 1926 or 1927 in Stockton, Co Durham.
He died ?
His father was Thomas Maven McIntosh.
His wife was/is Barbara born 1926 (nee Langford, I think)
Only known son was born 1957.
Many thanks, Alan

Hi Alan and welcome to Rootschat...Be careful about naming people who may still be alive as it's against Rootschat Privacy rules.

Apologies! I'm new to this game.
I suppose what I'm really looking for is where I might find the best links to immigration to Australia.
Thanks, Alan

Hi Alan
Not only are there privay rules on Rootschat, Australia has strict rules also. I've edited out the sons' name.
There are many people still alive born in the 1920's. Your topic will be edited further if others are still alive.
Give it a short while and the Australians will soon be back offering their help and suggestions.
Have you found them on the outgoing passenger lists?
Have you tried looking for them in the electoral registers or phone book?

Hi DR400, ;D Welcome from me as well to Rootschat. I will include a link to the Phone directory for possible LIVING relatives of George. Neither are in Corowa NSW, but instead in Rutherglen Victoria.
The listing shows two in same street. I think a call may be very worthwhile.
Welcome to RC. ;)

From "WIKI"
Diamond Creek is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 23 km north-east of Melbourne's Central Business District. Its local government area is the Shire of Nillumbik. At the 2011 Census, Diamond Creek had a population of 11,504.
In the postwar years, population increased dramatically in Diamond Creek and its neighbouring areas. The Diamond Valley Shire was created out of the northern part of the Shire of Heidelberg in 1964. Further population growth occurred throughout the 1970s.
Also from "WIKI"
Corowa /ˈkɒrəwə/[2] is a town in the state of New South Wales in Australia. It is on the bank of the Murray River, the border between New South Wales and Victoria, opposite the Victorian town of Wahgunyah. Corowa is the administrative centre of Corowa Shire. The name could have derived from an Aboriginal word referring to the curra pine which yielded gum used by Aborigines to fasten the heads of spears to the shafts. Another translation is rocky river.[3]
There are two bridges over the Murray to Wahgunyah in Victoria: the heritage-listed John Foord Bridge and the Federation Bridge (opened on 2 April 2005).

According to Google maps, there's only 11 kms between Corowa and Rutherglen :) crossing the river at Bridge Road, and only 14 kms via Federation Way.....
Cheers, JM

Oh well, I was just thinking it might have been the other GEORGE on the ship with them....geeees!

Well Neil, I too would have thought George Richard McIntosh a person of interest and worthy of further investigation. But, can't win them all, I guess.
George Richard's grandfather came to Australia in 1853 with wife and daughter on the Tasmania.
They are included on the Mackintosh Families of Australia website -
http://mackintosh.org.au
He started the family line referred to as Collingwood2 which has 137 members.
The website is a great resource for people related to McIntosh's. There are now over 45,000 individuals listed - including moi ;D
Unfortunately the person that the OP is after is not included, probably due to his more recent arrival.
But your friends from NZ might be there, especially if they have links with Aust.
Keep up the good work. I enjoy reading your posts.

Hello people of RootsChat.
When I made my first tentative post I had no idea of the response I would get. Absolutely amazing. Lots of interesting information and several surprises including a link to the McIntosh web-site!
So much information, it's going to take me some time to work through it all. I'm sure there will be more surprises and full stops, so, no doubt, I will be back.
Grateful thanks to all. Alan ;D
