Hi all,
I was hoping someone would have access to the book "Guernsey Emigrants to Australia 1828 - 1899" to look up a few people for me:
The people I am looking for are:
Nicholas De Garis, born Guernsey 16/08/1833
Mary Hamon nay De Garis born Guernsey 30/06/1835
Peter Hamon born Sark 1801
Julia De Garis born Guernsey 1837
and possibly
Georgina De Garis born Guernsey 1801
Nicoulas De Garis born ????
I know the first 4 all went to Adelaide (don't know which yr), unsure if the last 2 left the islands. I would just like to know what yr they left and any other info.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Andrew

Hi!
That's amazing - someone actually answered me over a year later, I thought that post was dead and buried. Does the book contain further info such as marriage, deaths etc of the people from guernsey who came to australia? I actually found some of that info recently on this website:

Hi
The amount of detail varies. The book is a reprint of obituaries published in the Guernsey newspapers and only contains what was given to them.
