Hi
Am having trouble finding one of my people. Her name is Fanny Gyles and she was born in 1849 in the Liverpool area. I would think that she didn't move to the US until at least 1859. She would have arrived in New York area or at least the side of the US. She married Henry Schroeder and their daughter Ann Elizabeth was born in 1869 in New York (not sure wether state or city) She and Ann left the US for Australia, Henry had either died in the US or on the boat on the way over.
Fanny and Ann had arrived in Australia by 1872.
These timelines narrow things down a littlt but I have had no luck at all in finding any shipping records at all either from the UK to US or US to AUS.
I would be most grateful for even the smallest scrap of info as I am completely stumped!
